With the start of the MLB season in jeopardy, and litany of issues to deal with, we turn our focus to the good which is the outstanding performances by Braves prospects in this years’s Arizona Fall League. The trio of positional prospects (Southisene, Carey, Drake) have all played very well while the pitchers, led by Briggs McKenzie, have found their form and have performed quite well themselves.
Fresh off their fantastic appearances last night (4IP 3H 0R 2BB 6K), Briggs McKenzie along with Tate Southisene
(3-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 R, BB), were chosen to represent the National League in the game this Sunday.
Tate Southisene has appeared in 13 games in the AFL and has hit .341/.482/.432 – picking up exactly where he stopped after he broke his hand following his Double-A debut. He’s shown impressive average exit velocities of 92 MPH, with a hard hit rate of 49%.
The Fall Stars game itself is this Sunday (11/8), at 8:00 PM ET. You’ll be able to tune in on MLB Network, or via stream on MLB.com
