Justyn-Henry Malloy Could Help Braves Outfield In 2023
2 years agoAtlanta Braves outfield prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy could factor into the team's outfield, specifically left field in 2023, depending on how their offseason plays out, per The Athletic's David O'Brien. The Braves should have Michael Harris II in center field and Ronald Acuna Jr. in right field, but both Eddie Rosario and Marcell Ozuna struggled throughout the season. Malloy started in the Braves system as a third baseman but transitioned to the outfield in 2022 after the team signed Austin Riley to a long-term contract. The 22-year-old had a strong offensive season, batting .289 with 17 home runs and 81 RBI in 133 games between High-A, Double-A and Triple-A. Things will become much clearer as the offseason progresses, but Malloy may be a name to remember in deep fantasy leagues.
