Every spring, Atlanta Braves fans get an opportunity to see some of their top prospects in action. Sometimes it's very limited playing time, but it's great to get a look at the future of the organization. There's plenty to be excited about in Atlanta's prospect pool. With Drake Baldwin's emergence last season, eyes will be on the remaining prospects to see who will catch fire next.
Right-hander Drue Hackenberg has the potential to be the next surprise in 2026. Hackenberg is currently ranked as Atlanta's 10th-best prospect. He has worked his way up since being drafted by the Braves in the second round of the 2023 draft at 59th overall.
