As Baseball America released their top 100 prospects list Monday morning Braves fans were sent into a frenzy after it was revealed that Ronald Acuna had snagged the honor of being named the number one overall prospect in baseball. Acuna continues a tradition of Braves to be named number one overall prospects since Baseball America started releasing their prospect lists in 1990. In the nearly 30 years since the first BA top 100 was released a Braves prospect has graced the number one slot a record 6 times with the next closest team(s) being the Nationals and Twins with 3 times each.
