Anderson & Smith make MLB player pools for Braves & Blue Jays

Section 2 products Ian Anderon (Shenendehowa) and Kevin Smith (Columbia) have made Major League Baseball's player pools for the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays respectively. Anderson is the third ranked prospect in Atlanta's rich minor league system. He is in his fifth pro season since being drafted third overall in 2016 by the Braves. Anderson's strikeout per 9 innings rate has been near or at the top of each minor league level in which he has pitched.
