Braves Minor League Recap: Fuentes excellent in Triple-A debut

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves, Kevin Herget

It’s been an insane season so far for Didier Fuentes. He was the star of the Atlanta Braves spring breakout game and hasn’t looked back since, getting to Triple-A despite missing time with a blister. At every step he has been nothing short of dominant, and that was the case again as he made his Gwinnett debut with six strikeouts over 4 13 innings. Fuentes is the youngest pitcher in Triple-A this season, and the first teenager to ever pitch for the Stripers.

(25-33) Gwinnett Stripers 0, (38-28) Memphis Redbirds 3
