Over the years, there have been a number of Atlanta Braves prospects that came to the big leagues with a considerable amount of hype. Ronald Acuña Jr. was widely considered one of the best prospects in baseball when the Braves finally called him up and Jason Heyward followed a similar path on his way to making the Braves' Opening Day roster in 2010. However, one name that is starting to be forgotten is Jordan Schafer.
Before Heyward, Schafar was the best big thing in Braves Country. Not only was he Atlanta's top prospect, but Schafer was widely considered to be a top 50 or better prospect in all of baseball and many thought he was going to terrorize MLB for years to come.
