BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Braves starting pitching prospect Spencer Schwellenbach is being promoted from Double-A Mississippi to make his major league debut on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals.
Ranked as the third-best prospect in the Atlanta system, Spencer Schwellenbach's season began with High-A Rome. His stellar performance, boasting a 2.53 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and an impressive 34:9 K:BB ratio through 32 innings, earned him an early promotion to Double-A.
In Double-A, the 23-year-old continued to flash elite strikeout potential with a 17:1 K:BB ratio and a 0.46 WHIP with zero earned runs across 13 innings.
Spencer Schwellenbach gets the call!
For the season, he owns a 1.80 ERA, 2.31 FIP, 16.1 SwStr%, and 31.0 Whiff% across 45.0 IP
He tosses a mid-90s fastball and has a great slider. He has started to weave in more curveballs this season as well

As a result, 29-year-old southpaw Ray Kerr will likely shift to the bullpen for the time being, opening the fifth slot in the major league rotation up for Schwellenbach.
The former second-round selection is worth adding in deeper leagues due to his near-perfect command and high-upside strikeout potential.
