Host Lindsay Crosby welcomes Baseball Prospectus’s Gaurav Vedak on Braves Today to answer prospect questions, emphasizing process and swing decisions. They discuss outfielders Eric Hartman’s Rome power surge, Owen Carey’s contact/OBP profile, Connor Essenburg’s lat injury outlook, and senior sign Logan Braunschweig’s on-base skill. On the infield, they cover Tate Southisene's strong start and positional fit, concerns about Alex Lodise’s chase issues, and Dixon Williams’ impressive approach and versatility, plus catcher Nick Montgomery’s improvements. On pitching, they break down Owen Murphy’s unique fastball in Triple-A, Garrett Baumann’s command struggles tied to a quicker delivery, Herick Hernandez’s starter vs reliever outlook, and why Jalen Payton needs a promotion, while noting little info on Angel Carmona. Gaurav also highlights IAFA Edelson Cabral as an underappreciated name.
