The Braves are calling up one of the top prospects in baseball. Twenty-year-old outfielder Ronald Acuna will join the major league club Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman.
Daniel Álvarez Montes of EVTV Miami first reported the news Tuesday evening.
Acuna—the No. 2 prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline—looked ready big league action after posting a ridiculous .432/.519/.727 slash line during spring training. The Braves likely stashed him at Triple A for as long as they did for service-time purposes, so Acuna will now be eligible for free agency after the 2024 season instead of 2023.
