BP Midseason Top 50 - 4 Braves

https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/41327/2018-prospects-the-midseason-top-50/

23. Austin Riley, 3B, Atlanta Braves
Why he’ll succeed: An easy, loose swing that generates plus power, especially to the gaps. Riley boasts an advanced approach with good awareness of the strike zone and a willingness to use the whole field.

Why he might fail: Well, defense, mostly. He’s slimmed down to gain athleticism but the actions still aren’t fluid. Fringe-average defense would be a nice result at the hot corner, and it could well be worse than that. A move to the outfield wouldn’t alleviate the defensive concerns either.

38. Kyle Wright, RHP, Atlanta Braves
Why he’ll succeed: Starter’s frame, mid-90s velocity with some tail and three secondaries, including a slider that flashes plus and a change with a chance to be above-average. He generates a bunch of ground balls thanks to his fastball and is polished at Double-A, already.

Why he might fail: There’s effort in the mechanics and the consistency on his landing spot can waver. While the break on his slider can earn whiffs, the pitch also shows itself early at times. He doesn’t miss bats with the fastball despite the velo and movement, so is going to have to rely on his bevy of secondaries to turn over the lineup consistently.

39. Kolby Allard, LHP, Atlanta Braves
Why he’ll succeed: Allard has cruised through the upper minors before he can even legally drink. He’s a polished, three-pitch lefty that throws strikes while showing plus command and pitchability. That could be enough to get major league hitters out on its own, and he shown better velocity and a plus curve in the still recent past.

Why he might fail: The fastball velocity can sit in the upper-80s and Allard has never shown a consistent bat-missing secondary in the minors. That could be a problem against the best bats in the world.

42. Ian Anderson, RHP, Atlanta Braves
Why he’ll succeed: Perhaps because he was on a budget deal and perceived as less than a third-overall talent, Anderson feels weirdly underrated for such a high pick that’s stomping through the minors right on schedule. He continues on his boring march up the chain, striking out a bunch of dudes at High-A with a strong three-pitch mix while continuing to fill out a projectable frame.

Why he might fail: Owing to his upstate New York background, Anderson’s just a touch rawer and more inconsistent than you might hope for. Mostly, the risks here are those of any lanky, projectable kid that just turned 20: injury and bullpen are still real possibilities.

Those are certainly interesting. Allard as the #3 prospect in our system right now is strange.

Bragging about Riley's approach and strike zone awareness does, too. Don't think I've ever seen anyone talk that part of his game up.

I don’t know how much I trust BP
 
I like their opening comment on Anderson.

He is a good prospect, just not the guy folks wanted at #3. Someone complaining about the pick does mean they hate Ian Anderson.
 
Kinda interesting they have Riley as the first Braves prospect. I'm not sure I agree although he's made clear improvements.

Allard is interesting too but they might not be ranking guys that will graduate/have dropped Gohara for his issues this year (although mostly personal).

What do your 2027 projections have Pache at?
Click to expand...

.320/.410/.550 with 42 HRs, 46 SBs, and elite defense in CF. It adds up to a 12 WAR season.

Since he also looks like a WR, he plays 12 games with the Falcons and hauls in 70 catches for 800 yards and 7 TDs.

Dude is an athlete, so I’ve been told by the resident expert on athletes.
 
Gohara solid - another outing like tonight over the break and he may well be in the rotation for good.
