Ransack Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 13 hours ago, K26dp said: Cusick made the start for Augusta on Thursday. He touched 100 mph in the first. Was sitting 94-97 with rising action. Threw almost all fastballs, just a few sliders mixed in... which was news in-and-of itself considering he didn't throw the slider in college, so its something the Braves have had him start. More than enough stuff to crush the poor Kannapolis Cannonballers, possibly the worst team in low-A this season. Guessing he gets a couple more starts then gets the bump to Rome for a few weeks before the season ends. He threw 48 pitches, which was more than I was expecting. Thanks for the report K26dp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Augusta's Joey Estes became the first organizational pitcher to throw a 9-inning complete game this season. Estes only allowed 4 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out a career high 14 and walking none. He's 19 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you include him he would be C2. Logan Brown would be far, far below Contreras. AUTiger7222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 After Mississippi played Tuesday, the rest of the five games against Pensacola this week have been postponed to adhere to the minor league COVID testing and contact tracing protocol. No word on how many positive tests there have been on the M-Braves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K26dp Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Just for you guys, here's my opinion on the best pitches among Braves minor league prospects right now. Best 4-seam fastball: Spencer Strider Best 2-seam fastball: Kyle Muller Best curveball: Darius Vines Best slider: Kyle Muller Best change-up: Jared Shuster Best command: Bryce Elder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason to do this would be if he'd be in the mix for the Atlanta job in 2022, and he won't be. Besides, Contreras is in Gwinnett and needs reps too. Plus Mississippi will go to the playoffs, that's better experience for Langeliers anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K26dp Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The Braves have signed Maikel Franco to a minor league deal. The contract was reportedly signed prior to September 1 so he would be eligible for postseason consideration. Franco will likely be a candidate for a right-handed pinch hitter role on a postseason roster, when teams can carry an extra bat or two.

Ben was originally drafted by the Blue Jays in the 26th round in 2016 but didn't sign and then was drafted by the Rangers in the 13th round in 2019.
