I think Cam may still be a 50 grade prospect when they release our top prospects list. They just didn't have him as a top 100 prospect. It would be really strange not bump him up from his 45+ FV rating that they already had him at before last season. Especially considering he had a pretty terrific year for someone that pitched most of last year as an 18 year old. I get the feeling that if he were an international signee with the same skillset and production, FG would have ranked him a lot higher.

FG Picks to click :
Sinnard is 6-foot-8 and he has barely played baseball (he only started during his senior year of high school and had just one healthy year at Indiana), but he’s thrown strikes when healthy even though he’s adding pitches. He could be a four-pitch mid-rotation guy if he continues on his current trajectory
Murphy, another Braves arm on our Top 100 long list, has overwhelmed low-minors hitters since he was drafted in 2022. Tommy John surgery cost him most of the last two years, though he looked sharp late last summer. He could have plus command of a mix of average and above-average stuff.
Caminiti, the cousin of late big-leaguer Ken Caminiti, was still 17 when Atlanta selected him in the first round of the 2024 draft. The Braves have taken it slowly with the young lefty, who worked about four innings per outing last year. He has a solid fastball/slider foundation, and if he’s able to refine his change and build stamina in 2026, he’ll be in good shape for jumping onto our list.
Gil and Tornes get a nod that scouts believed they'd pop this year as well.

I don’t completely understand it yet and need to read about it more but Fangraphs has another top 100 prospect list based on WAR projection, aging curves etc… seems complicated. But it has Gil and Fuentes as the only two Braves. It’s interesting. Some of the list is very similar to their scouting list but some are very very different like our guys.
