Heading into their respective drafts, all three of the Atlanta Braves 2020 minor league Rule 5 draft choices were highly regarded. RHP AJ Puckett, 2B Jalen Miller, and OF Jacob Pearson were all selected early on and received significant signing bonuses.
Things clearly didn’t go according to plan, as not only were all three available today but two of the trio had already been dealt by the team who originally drafted them(Puckett and Pearson).
That’s not to say they don’t have both talent and upside- in fact every one of them deserves some consideration for the Braves Top 30 prospect list.
