In this week's episode, we take a bit of a break from our positional breakdowns to talk a bit about how we scout pitchers. From basic eye test stuff to delivery considerations to issues regarding their approach to just evaluating athleticism, we give you a peek into our weird little world of scouting and player evaluation in this one. We also get derailed quickly in this one before righting the ship. Enjoy!

In this episode of Road to Atlanta, the R2A crew were joined by none other than current prospect analyst emeritus and former member of the Braves front office Kiley McDaniel. We covered a WIDE range of prospects and topics in both covered the Top 32 prospect list that Kiley put out earlier this week as well as delving deeper into the system as well. Kiley's dog wanted to be on the show, too so she made several guest appearances. Enjoy!

In this week's episode, we had a very special guest as Baseball America's JJ Cooper joined us to talk Braves prospects and minor league baseball in general. We covered a WIDE range of topics to our favorite players from Rome's rotation this past year, Acunapalooza, the penalties on the Braves', his thoughts on the catcher and 3rd base positions in the minors, and a whole lot more. This one ran a bit long in the best possible way. Enjoy!

In this week's episode of Road to Atlanta, special guest, advanced stats guru, and digital dandy Dan Szymborski joined us on the podcast. We could have easily talked to him for hours and not cover everything, but Dan talked about how his minor league projections work, the benefits and shortcomings of those projections, and gave us a sneak peek at some of the Braves' ZiPS projections including a certain #1 prospect. Enjoy!

Enjoy!
