    Episode 13 brings the heat—literally. We’re fired up to sit down with JR Ritchie, the Atlanta Braves’ #2 overall prospect and one of the most electric young arms in all of baseball.JR takes us through a whirlwind 2025 season that started with seven impressive outings in High-A Rome, followed by an immediate impact during his eight-game stint right here in Columbus. From there, the baseball world watched him blast onto the national stage when he was selected to start the MLB Futures Game—where he delivered a flat-out dominant 1 inning performance.But the momentum didn’t stop. Just days later, JR earned a well-deserved call-up to AAA Gwinnett, putting him one step away from Atlanta and firmly on the radar of Braves fans everywhere. In this conversation, JR opens up about his development, handling pressure, embracing the climb through the minors, and what drives him as he inches closer to The Show. This is one of the most exciting young pitchers we’ve ever had the chance to talk to—and trust us, you’ll feel that energy.StonerCast Fans… you’re gonna love this one.
