Many of the Atlanta Braves’ top power-hitting prospects have graduated to the major leagues in recent years. Between Austin Riley, William Contreras, and Michael Harris II, the Braves have added a lot of offensive firepower to their roster, but it is fair to say that this particular well hasn’t exactly been replenished of late. It hasn’t helped that the guy who is left with arguably the most raw power in the system, Jesse Franklin V, had a pretty big setback during his 2022 campaign.
Preseason Report Card
We were somewhat bullish on Franklin coming into the season, as we had him as the 12th-best prospect in the Braves’ farm system.
