Sabin Ceballos

Ceballos, the Braves No. 18 prospect, is enjoying a strong start to his first action at the High-A level, slashing .273/.429/.364 (3-for-11) across three games. The former third-round pick also has one SB, while also having drawn one walk.

Atlanta hopes he can improve his power numbers a bit and his plate discipline has improved a bit which has led to early results. The third base prospect isn't knowing for having the best range so he may see a position change during his time in the organization but for now, he will man the hot corner.

Owen Murphy

Atlanta's No. 5 prospect has made one start so far this season with High-A Rome. Across that start, the right-hander owns a 1-0 record with a 0.00 ERA and an 8:1 K/BB ratio across 6.2 IP, while also holding opponents to a combined .087 AVG against.

Murphy doesn't have a lot of velocity or spin on his pitches so he relies on a great pitch mix and changing speeds to get batters out. Things look promising early on and hopefully, he can reach the potential the Braves believe he has.
