Lucas Sims, Mississippi (ATL)
(2-0, 0.79 ERA, 2 G, 2 GS, 11 1/3 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 1 HBP, 6 BB, 15 K)
Sims has had his problems in 2015, most notably in the control department, but in his last four starts, he's been close to stellar. Following last week's starts, the Braves' No. 7 prospect is 3-0 with a 1.99 ERA, 29 strikeouts and 13 walks in 22 2/3 innings over his last four Southern League outings. Armed with an impressive fastball and curveball, Sims has improved to 3-2 with a 4.19 ERA and 44 strikeouts while holding Double-A hitters to a .179 average in 34 1/3 innings with Mississippi. The effects of his late-season turnaround haven't been lost on the right-hander. "The final month especially, that's your most recent memories going into the offseason," Sims told MiLB.com on Sunday. "You always want to finish strong and head into the offseason on a positive note and take that and hopefully roll with it into the next year."
