100%. In 2020, the projected 2026 rotation probably included Soroka, Anderson, Fried and Wright as the top guys. Given the prevelance of pitching injuries and the high risk, long-term, very expensive pitching FA contracts, organizational pitching depth (quantity & quality) is probably the most critical piece of sustainable organizational success for every team.
Just wanted to commend you on a great, analytical, accessible article that breaks down our pitching prospects. Very happy to be a subscriber.
Thanks Mike! Appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for this analysis. I’m going to save and use it to track organizational progress.
Really hoping I'm on track with some of these, but we know someone will disappoint and someone will impress

Hey some good news !!!
Baseball America just reranked all teams top 30 prospects.
2 of our Jan 15 signees cracked the top 25 !
Centerfielder de la Cruz came in at #24.
Shortstop Jose Manon came in at #25.
I know everybody doesn't follow Baseball America, and i thought this was worth sharing to the Braves Today Family.
