Braves have three players named to Carolina League postseason all-star team:

DH Jacob Shrader

Camargo named Best Defensive SS in league by BBA; Lein has four tools at least that he used to good effect; Schrader by far leads team in homers (14) despite missing a month with an injury. He was the lowest round player to sign in that draft (27th round, 2013)

GLC Braves, DSL Braves season complete

Another double for Olivera; Schrader with his 15th homer and an all-star trophy. Not often we get to talk about the power guys.

Riley 3-4. Avg over .360 from his time in Danville.

Would they consider letting Riley finish the year in Rome? He's making Danville look easy.

Riley is insane

Nikolin (Columbia, SC): How high do you think Austin Riley will be on the Braves prospect lists this offseason? And why not give a guy with his numbers a taste of Low A at the end of year? Thanks!


J.J. Cooper: He’s going to rank high on the list. The Braves have a ton of interesting prospects but most of them are pitchers. Riley stands out as one of the best bats in the system. High ceiling guy. Could he get 20 ABs in Rome before the season ends? Sure, but that’s not going to make a big difference one way or another in the long-term.
