Atlanta Braves Non-Roster Invites: Who Has a Shot?

The Atlanta Braves invited 25 non-roster invitees to major league spring training. Out of the 25 invited, who has a shot to make the team on opening day?

It was announced that the Atlanta Braves will invite 25 non-roster players to major league spring training. In this article, we will look at the guys that may have a shot to find themselves on the major league roster come opening day.

Obviously most everyone on this list will be left off the opening day roster. That is just the unfortunate truth.

Some of the top prospects will be left off because there is no reason to start their service time with them on the bench or in the major league bullpen.

There is really only a few on this list that have a shot to actually make a roster.

We can go ahead and eliminate a few.

Drew Waters, Shea Langeliers, Braden Shewmake, Bryce Ball, CJ Alexander, Justin Dean, Michael Harris, Trey Harris, Freddy Tarnok, Victor Vodnik, William Woods, Daysbel Hernández, Logan Brown, Connor Johnstone, Nolan Kingham, and Jonathan Morales.

Unfortunately for these guys, I just do not see them breaking camp with the team. It is not because they are not talented though, some are probably more talented than guys that will be on the major league bench. It is just unlikely the Braves rush these guys to the majors when they can have more of a full-time role in the minors.

These players could see Atlanta within the next year but are best served to begin the year in the minors and continue to develop.

Then there are a few guys that are career minor leaguers and organizational depth at this point in their careers.

Let us take a look at guys who have a small shot at breaking camp with the team, starting with the pitchers.
