5 Atlanta Braves minor leaguers who could surprise this year
By Josh Brown
Right Handed Pitcher – Bryse Wilson
Now, I know Wilson is a ranked prospect in the Braves system, but to me, he’s still very under the radar. Perhaps it’s because I don’t see a lot written about him and the guys in Mississippi, and Anderson and Wentz in Rome, are currently getting all the glory.
Bryse has a fastball around 95-96 and a pretty good slider, with a new change-up in the making. So far this year, it’s been reported that his fastball is more around the 93 mph mark. Up until this year, he was mostly a two-pitch pitcher, which often sends guys to the bullpen, but he’s been working on a change-up and reports are that he’s developing said pitch pretty well.
The 19-year-old seems to have pretty good stuff, but what will move him upward will be the six inches between his ears; he seems to be a very smart kid. So far in Rome, he’s thrown 4 starts and is posting a 0.85 WHIP. Still early in the season, still early in his career, but I’m excited about Bryse Wilson.
It should also be noted that when talking to Soroka (this time in December) he told me that Wilson was going to be very good. I’m basically just writing a list of everyone Mike Soroka told me is going to be very good. I’m just kidding.
