With another week gone by in spring training, we take a look at how some of the Braves prospects of note are faring during spring training.
Nacho Alvarez Jr.
Alvarez had a hit in one at bat, scoring a run, against the Twins on Monday. He played on Tuesday but didn’t record a plate appearance and that was all of his action in big league games this week.
AJ Smith-Shawver
AJ Smith-Shawver got the start on Friday against Detroit and struggled a bit. He lasted three innings, giving up five runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. He also allowed a homer to former Braves prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy plus another additional pair of extra base hits.

Cade Bunnell
Bunnell appeared in three games on the week and combined to go one for four.
Cal Conley
Conley was a solid two for four with a run scored on the week, appearing in four games and recording one plate appearance in each.
Justin Dean
Dean played in four games and while he did go hitless in four at bats, he drew a pair of walks, stole a base, and scored a run in one of those games.
Jace Grady
Jace Grady came into a pair of games off the bench, going hitless in an at bat in each of those games.
Isaiah Drake
Drake didn’t appear in any big league games this week, but his performance at the Spring Breakout opened some eyes and earned him a spot on this list anyway as he tripled, walked, and stole a base before leaving the game early.

Waddell was hitless in one at bat on Monday then took a walk in his Tuesday plate appearance
