The Mississippi Braves are going to have an interesting group of talent in 2021. The lineup should be a blast to watch on a daily basis and they mix in some fun talent in the pitching staff to give them reason to be watched. Lets take a look at the roster.

Pitching
Nolan Kingham has reportedly been a standout in extended spring training, and there’s reason to believe he could find himself in Triple-A to start the season. That said, with the crowded rotation I expect he may get an opportunity when someone is promoted but for now will just stick in Double-A for a little bit. He had a 3.79 ERA in Mississippi in 2019, but a 4.64 FIP with a lot of home runs and very few strikeouts in 35 ⅔ innings. One would like to see him strikeout more batters than he has in his professional career

While increasing the confidence the Braves have in their pitching depth, Huascar Ynoa has extended the value Atlanta managed to gain from Jaime García.
Ynoa furthered his roster bid with the three-plus-inning effort he provided in an 8-5 win over the Twins on Friday afternoon at CenturyLink Sports Park. The Braves right-hander pitched around a couple of jams before showing signs of fatigue during Minnesota’s five-run fourth.
After the Twins loaded the bases with nobody out in the fourth, Ynoa was lifted in favor of Phil Pfeifer, who retired just three of the six batters he faced.
