About this episode
Lindsay Crosby breaks down the Atlanta Braves’ 2026 minor league assignments, highlighting notable and surprising placements across the system as the season begins. In Single-A Augusta, he focuses on prospects including Nick Montgomery and Tate Southisene, with special attention on unexpected demotion candidate Alex Lodise and the approach issues (chase/whiff rates) that may explain it, plus pitchers like Davis Polo, Ethan Bagwell, and Landon Beidelschies. High-A Rome is described as extremely loaded with impact talent on both sides, led by top pitching prospect Cam Caminiti and arms like Cedric de Grandpré, along with a deep position group featuring names such as John Gil, Cody Miller, Isaiah Drake, and Eric Hartman. He also previews AA Columbus’ exciting arms (Owen Murphy, Garrett Bowman, Herrick Hernandez, Yancarlos Lara) and notes key Gwinnett names including JR Ritchie, Didier Fuentes, Nacho Alvarez, and Jim Jarvis.
