The headliner of the class is 16 year-old Cuban outfielder Diego Tornes who was one of the top players of this class. Battery Power’s Gaurav Vedak posted about Tornes’ potential after his signing was announced.
I have seen some people give Diego Tornes tools a 55 overall – that would put him top 3 in the Braves farm system. Roughly translated it’s like adding a positional Cam Caminiti.
Important to note he won’t turn 17 until July. Stats from 2025/6 won’t matter.

Additional signing will added to this class – with some outlets already reporting additional names – but as of this writing, those players have not been confirmed by the Braves.
