Braves’ farm system progress report: These three made moves in 2026

Atlanta Braves prospects Eric Hartman, Tate Southisene, and Patrick Clohisy significantly boosted their standing in the organization during the 2026 season. Outfielder Eric Hartman surged into MLB Pipeline's Top 40 after hitting 24 home runs and stealing 38 bases at High-A Rome, though he struggled after a Double-A promotion. Middle infielder Tate Southisene posted an .875 OPS across Single-A and High-A before suffering a fractured wrist in his Double-A debut.

Outfielder Patrick Clohisy also advanced to Triple-A, registering a .903 OPS and 25 stolen bases. Mark Bowman reports that Atlanta's recent draft hauls have revitalized its minor-league talent pool. Looking ahead, infielder John Gil and outfielder Conor Essenburg are viewed as potential breakout candidates for 2027, while left-hander Cam Caminiti and right-hander Owen Murphy headline the next wave of pitching options.
