Wentz was promoted to the Danville Braves of the Appalachian League on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It's not a stretch to say that so far, Wentz has been the most impressive of the prep pitchers selected in this year's draft. He had 18 strikeouts while allowing three hits and issuing five walks over 12 shutout innings in the Gulf Coast League prior to the promotion. The Braves were able to nab the projectable 6-foot-5 lefty with the 40th pick after they agreed to an under slot deal with Ian Anderson in the first round. He is a top-200 prospect for dynasty leagues, and could creep closer to the top-100 with continued success against tougher competition in the Appalachian League.
