MLB Pipeline releases Atlanta Braves updated Top 30 prospect list

Taking a look at the list and a lot has changed. Didier Fuentes rises from 7th all the way to 3rd on the list. Owen Murphy came back from Tommy John surgery and rose from 8th to 6th. Luke Sinnard, after his breakout season, went from 16th overall to 11th. Interestingly, despite the increased velocity from Garrett Baumann, he dropped from 6th overall to 12th to start the year. There was no bigger fall than Jose Perdomo who went from the 15th overall prospect down to 25th after his first full season of baseball where he struggled at complex ball. David McCabe, the former top positional prospect in the organization according to many, has fallen of the top 30 entirely.

There were some new additions to the list as well. Isaiah Drake came in at 30th overall after his successful season last year, while Raudy Reyes debuted at 29th. Dixon Williams comes in at 28th overall after a strong 2025 season where he had a 150 wRC+, though did still have a near 30% strikeout rate. Also debuting on the list is newly signed international free agent Jose Manon, who comes in at 27th, while Patrick Clohisy and his 100 steals last year help him make the list at 26th. Owen Carey was not ranked to start the year in 2025, but found himself at 19th overall after he hit .258/.330/.345 across 117 games played. Right behind him is 20th round pick Eric Hartman, coming in at 20th overall.

While some of the rankings are interesting to say the least, what we do have is a clear addition of several position prospects within the Braves top 30 – something that has lacked for the past few years. As this core of young Braves continue to develop, along with the addition of the 9th and 26th pick in the upcoming MLB draft, as well as the potential signing of the talented Alfredo Sena next year it’s time to start getting excited about the future of the Braves once again.
