JR Ritchie Impressive In Return From Injury

The Atlanta Braves spent the 35th pick on pitcher JR Ritchie back in 2022, giving him $2.4 million to sign out of high school. He's a highly-regarded right-hander, but an elbow injury has restricted him to just four games this season and 13 games over his three-year career. Prior to his injury, he threw an impressive fastball in the mid-90s, and it's possible he has even gained some velocity during his recovery. He also throws a great changeup and curveball, both of which can be lethal secondary offerings. Ritchie wasted very little time getting back to his old self as he tossed five shutout, no-hit frames last week. He walked one batter along the way while tallying seven strikeouts. It was his first game back in Single-A since 2023, and the results certainly delivered plenty of optimism to those within the Braves organization.

JR Ritchie Tosses Five Innings Of No-Hit Ball At Single-A

Atlanta Braves pitching prospect JR Ritchie threw five innings of no-hit ball in his first start at Single-A this past Friday, allowing just one walk while striking out seven batters. The performance earned him MLB.com's Prospect Team of the Week honors. Ritchie was selected 35th overall in the 2022 draft and is currently ranked as the Braves' third-overall prospect. The 21-year-old is not expected to debut until 2027 according to MLB.com, but at the rate Atlanta has been moving along their pitching prospects, it will assuredly be sooner, although not likely in 2024. He's an arm for dynasty managers to keep an eye on.
