Braves Prospect Smashes Triple HR Game | Atlanta Braves News

Conor Essenburg is exploding onto the scene as a Braves prospect, crushing three homers in one game — his third straight deep ball performance. Despite missing time due to injury, he leads minor league hitters in slugging and OPS, with half his homers coming in just three games. Drafted in the fifth round last year, he’s now being paid nearly triple his slot value — proof the Braves see something special. A former pitcher who threw 90 mph fastballs, his raw power from the right side is undeniable, even when he mis-hits. Still working on plate discipline and strikeouts, Essenburg is fast becoming one of the most electrifying power bats in the system — and this week’s performance is a major highlight.
