Over the last few weeks I’ve covered 20 of the 30 prospects found on our Midseason Braves Top 30 Prospect List. Today we’ll wrap this series up by discussing the top 10. Below you’ll find tables for each group of ten covered so far, with the final ten at the bottom. If you click on

As a teenager, Vaughn Grissom already paid his rookie dues, playing in 44 games with the FCL
The Braves made a few more minor league moves on Thursday, this time impacting two talented middle-infielders — shortstop Luke Waddell and shortstop/third baseman Vaughn Grissom. https://twitter.com/TheRomeBraves/status/1433520106076704814?s=20 Waddell — the Braves’ fifth-round pick in this year’s MLB Draft — has certainly enjoyed his first taste of pro ball.
