Our 2026 Preseason Top 30 Prospects: Honorable Mentions
"We start this weeks shenanigans off with the players who narrowly missed out on our top 30. In what has been mainly filled with reliever arms, our honorable mentions feature some intriguing players that have ceilings a lot higher than you would think for players outside of our Top 30. Lets get this weeks fun started by taking a look at those 6 players."
"He appeared in 18 games for the Augusta GreenJackets but registered a 2.71 ER with a batting average against of just .181. We saw him showcase five pitches throughout the season with a low-to-mid 90s fastball, a high 80s to low 90s 2 seamer, a biting slider, a strong changeup, and a cutter that he really began to throw a lot more last year."
Braves made a strong draft that emphasized position players, producing rising prospects that balance a system recently dominated by arms. The farm system still ranks near the bottom overall, but young talent shows substantial progression across multiple areas. The Top 30 rankings reflect a composite evaluation by a minor-league staff and include honorable mentions of six players who narrowly missed the list. Jeremy, age 20, struggled with intermittent shoulder soreness but posted a 2.71 ERA and .181 batting average against in 18 games for Augusta. He displayed five pitches — low-to-mid 90s fastball, high-80s/low-90s two-seamer, biting slider, strong changeup, and increased cutter usage — with durability remaining the primary concern.
