The Atlanta Braves love to draft pitching, and that focus paid off on Saturday evening as the affiliates all had fantastic pitching performances (if you choose to ignore the GreenJackets existing tonight). Michael Soroka was on the mound for Gwinnett and struck out nine batters, while a shutout in Florida has the complex league team on the verge of a playoff berth. First round pick Hurston Waldrep was also in action, but the analysis will be limited by the lack of a video feed in Hickory.
