The Braves invited Wright to spring training with the major-league club.
Wright pitched only 17 innings between Rookie ball and High-A Florida last season after being drafted fifth overall, and he had little difficulty with either level. He dazzles with a mid-90's fastball and also has a plus curveball and slider in his repertoire. Looking ahead, the right-hander could immediately take the next step and begin the year at Double-A Mississippi given that he turned 22 just after the end of the 2017 regular season, but that may very well depend on his performance this spring.
