Yesterday was an exciting moment for the Braves fans.

The Braves farm system is thin. They’ve watched several young stars graduate prospect status, and nearly all of them have had success at the top level. Atlanta has also used many of their other top prospects to acquire the likes of Matt Olson, Sean Murphy, and even Joe Jiménez. It’s understandable for them to have
