Minor has been effective, but has gone to plenty of deep counts. Especially frustrating is that 3-2 counts he works after jumping ahead 0-2.

A major reason all three rate so well is both systems see them as outstanding defensive players. FanGraphs’ defensive metric — UZR — ranks Bourn, Heyward and Prado first, second and fourth among all NL position players. Baseball-Reference uses Defensive Runs Saved and ranks all three in the top 11. Bourn is a legitimate top-flight center fielder, Heyward gets good reads and has one of the better arms around and while I haven’t seen enough of Prado in left field, Braves fans assure me he’s that excellent as well. While none are what I would label superstars at the plate, they rank 15th, 18th and 22nd in the NL in wOBA. But all three are also excellent baserunners, so it’s their all-around skills that make them so special.
