PROSPECT: E.J. Exposito, 2B, Atlanta Braves
CURRENT LEVEL: High-A
2024 STATS: 18 G, .277/.351/.631, Six HR, 12 RBI, 13 R, Eight SB, 10.8% BB%, 28.4% K%, .308 BABIP, .438 wOBA, 171 wRC+
ANALYSIS: Exposito is a former 16th-round pick who played college ball at Long Island University. He has decent contact and power skills, continuing to spray the ball to all parts of the field and showing legitimate pop. Defensively, he offers the Braves versatility in the infield. While he'll likely play second base long-term, he's already seen plenty of action at first base, third base, and shortstop, too.
This morning, EJ Exposito bought everyone on the staff donuts.
Today, he’s tied for the league lead in homers. 🍩 #RuleTheLand 🐧 pic.twitter.com/e2MZiVCm9y

Last week was huge for Exposito as he ultimately hit 11-for-23 (.478) with three home runs and five RBI. He also contributed plenty of value on the basepaths by stealing five bases on five attempts last week. The 23-year-old's biggest weakness is his tendency to strike out (3.0 K/BB last week), which he'll need to address before any potential promotion.
