Justyn-Henry Malloy promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett

With the promotions of Michael Harris and Vaughn Grissom (and their subsequent success), there has been a definite void in the Braves’ minor league system when it comes to position player prospects especially when you are looking at above rookie and low-A ball. However, one player who has helped to remove some of the sting of that has been Justyn-Henry Malloy who has slashed .289/.407/.455 for Rome and Mississippi this year.

A transition away from third base, where he was sub-optimal defensively, to the outfield has paid big dividends for him and he has really flourished offensively since being promoted to Mississippi back in July.
