Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images Sunday will be a packed day on the pitching side for the affiliates of the Atlanta Braves, with the last two first round picks in action for their respective clubs. These teams are all hoping to end out rough weeks with wins, and Gwinnett will also see Nacho Alvarez continue on his path to coming back from injury.

At every step he has been nothing short of dominant, and that was the case again as he made his Gwinnett debut with six strikeouts over 4 1⁄3 innings. Fuentes is the youngest pitcher in Triple-A this season, and the first teenager to ever pitch for the Stripers.

After a two month wait to see him back in televised action he didn’t disappoint, striking out eighth batters over five one-run innings.
