Shea Langeliers

The Braves 2019 first-round pick spent his 2019 season with Rome where he hit .255 in 54 games with 34 runs batted in.

While the bat is still developing, Langeliers’ reputation is behind the plate, which will quickly move him through the system fairly quickly.

MLB Pipeline ranked Langeliers No. 70, while Baseball Prospectus ranked him No. 77. Baseball America did not have Langeliers in their top 100.

FanGraphs projects Langeliers to be between a low-end starting player to an average starting player with an average WAR of 2.

William Contreras was once thought of as the Braves’ future catcher, but it now seems like Langeliers has taken the label.

With Tyler Flowers and Travis D’Arnaud both under contract this year and a viable option in Alex Jackson at Triple-A, it seems like Langeliers’ debut will likely hold off until 2021.

Kyle Muller

This is the guy that is getting more and more love each year and for good reason. Have you seen his offseason videos?

At 6-foot6 and 225 pounds, which judging by the videos he posted this winter seems low, Muller is a workhorse who will likely be in all three lists this time next year.

But as of right now, Muller is ranked No. 60 by Baseball Prospectus, while not being ranked in the other lists.

Last season at Double-A Mississippi, Muller went 7-6 with a 3.14 ERA in 22 starts. He struck out 120 batters in 111.2 innings.

Muller will likely start the season at Double-A but soon could get promoted to Triple-A with an outside chance at making his debut sometime this summer.

In conclusion…

The Braves have so much talent currently on the big league roster, but there is so much more coming fast.

Former Braves GM John Coppolella talked about prospects making an impact with the Braves in waves and it looks like we are there.

We saw one wave with Albies, Acuna and Soroka and last year with Riley and Wright, and now more waves are coming.

The Braves are just getting started.
