The Atlanta Braves have a core of players aged over 25, making the selection of the best player under 25 a challenge. However, Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter has identified starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach as the top choice for 2024, following his impressive performance after debuting on May 29.
Schwellenbach recorded a 2.54 ERA and 95 strikeouts over his last 15 starts, showcasing his potential as a key player for the Braves. Meanwhile, center fielder Michael Harris II, despite an injury-plagued season, is also a strong contender for the title.
As Schwellenbach will turn 25 next May, the Braves may see new emerging talents like AJ Smith-Shawver, Hurston Waldrep, and infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. competing for the best under 25 title in the coming seasons.
