Under the Radar Hitters of the Day – April 26, 2018

    • 3-5, HR (1), 2B, 3R, 3RBi
    • There’s nothing not to like about the Braves current #9 prospect. Scouts say he could be the best defensive centerfielder in all the minors now and if he can become a more complete player on the offensive side of the ball,  he could easily shorten his ETA to Sun Trust Park. An All-Star in the making.
