Well it has quickly become prospect week for the Braves’ rotation, as a 1.0 inning Reynaldo Lopez begin on Tuesday in the course of a stretch of 10 video games straight despatched the Braves’ pitching right into a scramble to cowl innings. An up and down 3.0 inning begin from Didier Fuentes resulted in Thursday’s scheduled starter Martin Perez being burnt to cowl one other 3.0 innings. Fuentes was in all probability higher than his line would point out, as he received a bit unfortunate with some BABIP, whereas placing out 7 batters throughout 3.0 innings and generated 15 whiffs on 74 pitches. That mentioned, he was not as his finest, significantly within the first inning. So that leaves us with JR Ritchie making his MLB debut on Thursday as a consensus prime 100 prospect and prime 2 prospect within the group. Ritchie made an actual push for a rotation spot in Spring Training and has been largely efficient in AAA up to now. Ritchie has a deep pitch combine and might be enjoyable to look at on Thursday, as he can hopefully can present some depth for a Braves crew that desperately wants it.
