The Atlanta Braves chose a fire-baller with their first round pick in 2021, and Ryan Cusick quickly made mincemeat of Low-A in professional debut. The question now is whether his ridiculous arm talent will ever translate into a major league starter.
Midseason report card: Cusick immediately debuted at number 15 for Talking Chop, making us one of the lower rankings among any publication. Cusick will likely stay in the range as despite his success at Low-A there just is too small of a sample and too little to take from a college pitcher in Low-A to change his profile.
