John Gil of the Atlanta Braves showcased impressive power during Spring Training, hitting home runs on consecutive days, with an exit velocity of 109.7 MPH on one shot. After struggling early in the previous season with a .271 slugging percentage in April, he excelled post-injury, posting a .577 slugging percentage and 1.000 OPS in his final 30 games. Gil’s recent improvements suggest he has developed a better approach at the plate, making him a promising prospect ready to advance through the ranks. However, caution is advised before promoting him to Double-A, as it may hinder his power output.
