#11 Jhancarlos Lara is on the cusp of the big league call with another excellent 1IP/2K performance. He cut down on his BB since his first appearance or two in AAA, which has really been the only thing holding him back.

#34 Carlos Rodriguez has been heating up in June and continued it here with this bomb. His hit tool is great, showing even the small amount of power that he has this year should get him a 4th/5th OF spot in ATL to close out the year.
Columbus(AA):

#56 Adam Zebrowski helps the cause with this RBI 2B. He's really struggled this year making enuogh contact to go with his power, but this will do the trick.
#48 Geraldo Quintero certainly has impressvie pop for his size, and if he can get hit for a little more contact he'd be a bench MLB bat for sure. Unfortunately, he's yet to figure out that second part over his years in the organization.

#8 Lucas Braun had his breaking ball working. The Biscuits players were swinging out of their shoes trying to hit it. And he was taking on good prospect too, getting TBs Gregory Berrios(11th), Cooper Kinney(23rd), Colton Ledbetter(25th), and Will Simpson(29th). He went 6IP/4H/1ER/2BB/9K.
#45 Ethan Workinger, and stop me if a sound like a broken record, doesn't let a week go by without tapping into a highlight play. Here, he lofts the ball down the LF line for the RBI 2B.

#5 JR Ritchie just continues to have arguably the most impressive season in the Braves system. He went 5IP/2H/2BB/8K. Just an absolute dominant outing. He also victimized Colton Ledbetter(25th) thrice, Cooper Kinney(23rd), Gregory Berrios(11th) and Will Simpson(29th).
#45 Ethan Workinger comes through with another RBI 2B for Columbus. Did they only score 1 run in this game? Yes. Was Workinger the one to drive it in? Yes. Do either of these results shock you? They shouldn't. Also, notably this was off of TBs 19th ranked prospect, Ty Johnson.

#42 EJ Exposito is helping to add a little bit of thump to the Columbus lineup and here he comes up with the RBI 2B. S/o to the camera crew for the shot of the bang-bang play at the plate.
Rome(A+):

#55 Will Verdung gets the *cough cough* double and brings home the run. This was off of TBs 11th ranked prospect, Gary Gill Hill, which is a nice added touch.

#37 Ambioris comes up big! in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game with this RBI 2B! He'd come around to score the winning run on the walk-off as well.
Augusta(A):

#57 Eric Hartman returned to the lineup with a bang this weekend! Here he sent his first ball out of the park since his injury.
07/06/2025
#15 Nick Montgomery, has struggled with his contact to say the least, but here he shows off the power that makes him such an intriguing prospect. He effortlessly shoots this ball into the gap for the RBI 2B.
#57 Eric Hartman had 5 consecutive games with a XBH, and he did not stop today with this RBI 2B down the line.

#23 Ethan Bagwell made his first appearance in over a month on rehab from Augusta. He went a solid 2.2IP/1BB/3K. One of the highest upside arms in the system so this 2nd half of the year will go a long way to determining his projections heading into 2026.
