John Sickels of the Athletic top 100:
19) Ian Anderson, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): First-round pick in 2016, age 20, 2.49 ERA in 119 innings in Single-A and Double-A, 142/49 K/BB, with just two homers allowed; mid-90s fastball with above-average curveball and solid change-up; strong command for his age; looks like future workhorse; ETA 2020.
31) Mike Soroka, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, first-round pick in 2015, posted 2.00 ERA in 27 innings in Triple-A, then 3.51 ERA in 26 innings in MLB with combined 52/13 K/BB but pitching time limited by shoulder trouble; heavy 92-94 fastball, slider, curve, change all solid, throws strikes; ready to be No. 3 type if health OK; ETA 2019.
34) Kyle Wright, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 23, first-round pick in 2017 from Vanderbilt; 3.46 ERA with 133/51 K/BB in 138 innings in Double-A/Triple-A; classic right-handed starter with 94- to 97-mph fastball, curve, slider, change; all pitches very good, but command can be erratic; No. 3 starter projection with a chance to be more; ETA 2019.
36) Austin Riley, 3B, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, comp-round pick in 2015, hit .294/.360/.522 with 19 homers in Double-A/Triple-A; has issues with contact (129 whiffs) and approach but bat speed and power compensated so far; glove can stick at third base; could have short-term consistency issues but regular projection is obvious; ETA late 2019.
38) Touki Toussaint, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 22, first-round pick by Diamondbacks in 2014; famously electric arm took large step forward in ’18, with 2.38 ERA, 163/53 K/BB in 136 innings in Double-A/Triple-A; fanned 32 in 29 MLB innings with 4.03 ERA; still needs tighter control but fun to watch with mid-90s fastball and crazy-good curve; ETA 2019.
52) Cristian Pache, OF, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 20, signed in 2015, hit .279/.307/.410 in Single-A and Double-A with nine homers; plus speed, plus throwing arm, and average raw power that can increase further; plate discipline needs work and OBP will be an issue without adjustments; defense is Gold Glove caliber; upside: the 2013-2014 version of Carlos Gomez; ETA 2021.
76) Bryse Wilson, RHP, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B+): Age 21, 3.44 ERA with 143/36 K/BB in 126 innings between Single-A, Double-A, and Triple-A; often overlooked in pitching-rich Braves system but still an elite prospect; 92- to 96-mph fastball, strong slider and workable change; mid-rotation potential but would also be fine reliever; ETA 2019.
85) Drew Waters, OF, Atlanta Braves, (Grade B): Age 20, second-round pick in ’17 hit .293/.343/.476 in Single-A with nine homers, 23 steals; switch-hitter with plus speed and growing power, but needs tighter strike zone to be a leadoff man; ETA late 2021.
