On May 14th, I had an opportunity to interview Cory Harrilchak and J.J. Hoover of the Mississippi Braves. According to Baseball America, Cory has the best strike zone discipline and outfield defensive skills in the Braves organization. J.J. is a top ten pitching prospect. This is his second season as a starter in the Mississippi rotation.

Nicely done, Curt. I saw Harrilchak in spring training and marked him as a real comer. If Chipper is out for any length of time, they could move Prado to third and promote Harrilchak to play left field. I also heard about Hoover but did not see him pitch. Braves have a wealth of young talent.
