39. SS Ozhaino Albies (Braves)
Age: 18 (1/7/97)
Placement on pre-season 101: N/A
Current MiLB level/Affiliate: Low-A Rome
Developmental Update: Albies has well-below-average raw power, and it's likely not a part of his game in the long run. However, the rest of his tool set has the potential to shine bright. Albies has the potential to be above average or better with his hit tool, speed, arm, and defensive tools, all at a premium defensive position. Four tools at shortstop are tough to find, and Albies has hit for his entire professional career at this early stage of development. While the power may ultimately hinder just how valuable his bat is, Albies has a high floor and will certainly provide value up the middle. ?Tucker Blair

45. 2B Jose Peraza (Braves)
Age: 21 (4/30/94)
Placement on pre-season 101: 92
Current MiLB level/Affiliate: Triple-A Gwinnett
Developmental Update: If Peraza were playing in essentially any other organization he?d likely still be playing shortstop. He?s a plus-plus runner with excellent instincts so he should pile up the steals. The swing is very much geared for contact but his quick wrists allow him to shoot line drives to right field, even if the build and path give him very little chance for power. He?s a heady defender who uses his speed to make plays to his left and right, with just enough arm strength to handle short, and more than enough to be a potential plus defender on the other side of the bag. ? Christopher Crawford

Albies is the youngest player on the list.
