Braves News: Coaching staff returns, prospect Fall Stars, more

Atlanta, GA (11/4/2026) - The Atlanta Braves' coaching staff is set to return for the 2026 season, despite prior questions about baserunning, offensive production, and ABS decision-making. Manager Walt Weiss is leading the team once again. This coaching reclamation is seen as a significant factor contributing to the promising 2025 draft class.

Promising prospect Tate Southisene, who was previously considered an extremely exciting prospect in the 2027 class, has now been named to the Fall Stars team in the Arizona Fall League. This move is viewed as a major coup for the Braves, as it showcases Southisene's rapid rise and the overall strength of the draft.

Additionally, the Braves are expected to retain another promising prospect, Briggs McKenzie, in the later rounds. McKenzie is also projected to be an extremely promising addition to the team. These moves highlight the Braves' commitment to building a strong roster with top prospects.
