The Atlanta Braves are reaching down to Double-A Mississippi for Wednesday's starting pitcher
, was the team’s second-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft out of Nebraska. A two-way player in college, Schwellenbach needed Tommy John surgery and didn’t debut in Atlanta’s minor league system until 2023.
The wait was worth it, though - Schwellenbach went 5-2 with a 2.49 ERA in his 65 innings, making sixteen starts between Single-A Augusta and High-A Rome . Starting back at Rome this year, Schwellenbach quickly earned a promotion to Double-A Mississippi after his first six starts saw him go 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA for the Emperors.
The biggest improvement was in generating swing and miss. Coming back from Tommy John last season, Schwellenbach’s control returned before the whiffs, opposite of a typical Tommy John recovery. He walked only 2.2 batters per nine innings last season, but also struck out only 7.6 per nine innings. This season’s been more of what was expected from the youngster, with a K/9 of 10.2 on the season after 51 punchouts in 45 innings.
Schwellenbach, who turns 24 this Friday, will need to be added to the 40-man roster when called up. Atlanta can create two spots by moving Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr, who are both out for the remainder of the 2024 season, to the 60-day injured list.Managing Editor for Braves Today and the 2023 IBWAA Prospects/Minors Writer of the Year.
