Atlanta Braves: Top 5 low-exposure prospects to keep an eye on

Most Braves fans have familiarized themselves with prospects closer to making their MLB debuts, but not many fans know about the guys sitting in the lower minor league levels. The farm system is as deep as ever, and some of these guys may earn big promotions in 2018.

The Atlanta Braves have a seemingly never-ending prospect list, and naturally, talented guys will get lost in the mix due to bad stretches of play or simply a lack of attention to the lower minor league levels.

We know all about guys like Mike Soroka, Kolby Allard, Ronald Acuña and Austin Riley. Aside from coverage of the Braves in Atlanta, the team’s writers have done a great job of keeping fans well-informed about the guys knocking on the door to the Major Leagues.

However, guys that haven’t yet made it to the upper-levels of the minor leagues don’t get the exposure that the aforementioned do, simply because the big-time writers have enough on their hands with the MLB and higher-level clubs. There’s just not a lot of time to squeeze everyone into conversation.

For the purpose of this article, all players that have played at the high-A level and/or are a top-10 Braves’ prospect are excluded from the list, as they’ve gotten a decent amount of exposure one way or another.

Kicking off my top-5 list is a guy whose name you’ve probably heard recently, but might not know much about.
