Atlanta Braves Minor League All-Stars for July

Pitchers

SP – Ian Anderson, Florida, 22 IP, 0.82 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 4/32 BB/K
The #3 pick in the 2016 draft, Anderson has an impressively athletic stature and has been slowly coming along in his development. Anderson’s strikeout rate has been incredible, but he’s struggled to get deep into games, but as he’s getting deeper into this season, he’s also showing huge steps forward in his work on the mound.

SP – Kyle Muller, Florida, 31 1/3 IP, 3.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 8/36 BB/K
Even with a significantly higher ERA than many others, but everything else was incredible on the month, with the second-most innings tossed on the month, really showing his ability to make hitters swing and miss this month.

SP – Joey Wentz, Florida, 21 IP, 0.43 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 3/17 BB/K
Wentz has had some injury issues this year, but when he’s been on the mound, he’s been quite impressive, though perhaps not the strikeout guy that many were hoping he would be. He’s done very well learning to pitch this year, and that will serve him very well down the line as he progresses.

SP – Bryse Wilson, Mississippi, 32 1/3 IP, 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 7/42 BB/K
Tearing through the minor leagues in 2018, Wilson has earned his way up to Gwinnett after pitching through high-A and AA this year. He had a few rough starts when he first got to Mississippi, but he’s definitely been on a role since.

SP – Huascar Ynoa, Rome, 21 2/3 IP, 0.83 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 10/16 BB/K
Acquired from the Twins last July, Huascar has enjoyed plenty of success in his first full season, but the Atlanta Braves are still trying to get Ynoa to hold his control, especially deep in games. His stuff is so incredible that he’s still able to dumbfound hitters when he’s missing his spots, so it will be fun to see how he develops over the next few years in the Braves farm system.

RP – Daysbel Hernandez, Rome, 14 1/3 IP, 0.63 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, 5/17 BB/K
Signed from Cuba originally as an outfielder last September out of Cuba, Hernandez was known for his live arm, and the Braves moved him to the mound. He’s showed very well on the hill, with some control issues being the biggest issue thus far for Hernandez. His July was very impressive for Rome, pitching multiple innings in each appearance.

RP – Thomas Burrows, Mississippi, 16 1/3 IP, 0.55 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 6/24 BB/K
The lefty reliever was a 4th round pick out of the University of Alabama by the Seattle Mariners. He was acquired with Luiz Gohara before the 2017 season, and he’s been incredibly impressive. He spent most of July with Florida, earning a promotion to Mississippi late in the month. He’s yet to allow a run with the M-Braves, striking out 2 batters per inning.

RP – Tyler Watson, Rome, 11 1/3 IP, 0.00 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, 1/13 BB/K
The Texan lefty was originally a 38th round pick by the Angels, but was released by the Mariners this spring and the Braves picked him up. He’s really produced well for the Braves in Rome, not allowing a single earned run in the month and rarely walking a batter.

Top pitcher: Bryse Wilson is going to end up the season still barely scraping onto top 100 lists at the back of those lists, yet he’s essentially done exactly what Ronald Acuna did last year from the pitching side in 2018.
