JR Ritchie Getting Promoted To Double-A
JR Ritchie is being promoted to Double-A Columbus. The Braves' seventh-ranked prospect has pitched well at High-A so far this year, posting a 1.30 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, and a 17.8 percent K-BB%, with his latest start being his best one yet -- a complete-game shutout in which he allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out nine in nine innings. MLB.com's top prospects list has a 2027 ETA for the righty, however, if he continues to perform, the Braves are no stranger to bringing up pitching prospects early, some even skipping over Triple-A altogether, a la Spencer Schwellenbach, so he's a name for fantasy managers to keep an eye on next season.
