Braves Promote Prospect to Triple-A After Dominant Double-A Showing

Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves have moved up one of their top-30 prospects to Triple-A. Right-handed starter and No. 23 prospect Ian Mejia is heading to Gwinnett after a dominant showing with Double-A Columbus this season. As he’s built up his workload this season, he’s been able to give the Clingstones seven innings or more five times and at least six innings nine times. Mejia was drafted out of New Mexico State by the Braves in the 11th round of the 2022 draft and signed for $100,000. “Mejia’s feel for pitching and the ability to mix his offerings to keep hitters off-balance stands out more than any of his pure stuff,” his MLB.com profile said.
