The article discusses the potential for breakout prospects in the Atlanta Braves organization, specifically highlighting Jhancarlos Lara's impressive performance and looking at players like Drue Hackenberg and JR Ritchie. While Lara made a notable impact, Hackenberg shows promise with his developing pitches, but struggles with command. Ritchie, after recovering from Tommy John surgery, is expected to rise quickly in the rankings due to his improved velocity. The Braves are optimistic about these players taking significant steps forward in their careers.
Ritchie initially faced setbacks due to Tommy John surgery, but his swift return and improved velocity have positioned him as a top prospect for the Braves.
Hackenberg's arsenal changes, particularly the slurve and cutter, hint at a breakout, but consistency in command remains the essential hurdle he must overcome.
