June 21, 2024 - South Atlantic League (SAL)
Rome Emperors News Release
ROME, GA - 2021 World Champion AJ Minter is set to begin his road back to the bigs on Saturday with the High-A Rome Emperors.
Minter, a lefty out of Texas A&M, started his Minor League career with Rome in 2016 as a South Atlantic League Champion. Across five games that season, Minter never allowed a run while opponents tallied a .091 batting average against him.
Since his days in Rome, minter has gone on to become a staple of the Atlanta Braves bullpen, including helping secure a 2021 World Championship. Minter has been sidelined with left hip inflammation since May 29th.
First pitch on Saturday is slated for 5:00pm.
