Mississippi Braves News Release


PEARL, MS - The Mississippi Braves welcome the Cincinnati Reds affiliate Chattanooga Lookouts to Trustmark Park for the final homestand of the 2019 season, Thursday, Aug. 29 through Monday, Sept. 2. Join us for our last Thirsty Thursday and Post-Game Fireworks Show of the season, Baseball Card Set Giveaway, Ronald Acuña Jr. bobblehead giveaway, Memphis Grizzlies Night and Fan Appreciation Day.

What's Chop'n:

For the first time in Mississippi Braves history, the club placed a trio of players on the Southern League Postseason All-Star team. Drew Waters headlined the awards by being named league most valuable player while Tucker Davidson was named the league's top left-handed pitcher and Cristian Pache joined Waters as outfielders selected. Waters is the first M-Braves player to win league MVP and the first in the franchise since Javy Lopez took home the award in 1992 as a member of the Southern League's Greenville Braves. Ryan Klesko won the prior season in 1991.

Who to Watch:

Chattanooga's roster features six of the Reds' top-30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline: INF Jonathan India (3), C Tyler Stephenson (7), LHP Packy Naughton (13), OF Stuart Fairchild (16), OF Michael Beltre (21) and RHP Ryan Hendrix (30).
