About the Gwinnett Stripers and the Memphis Redbirds

The Gwinnett Stripers are the Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and that relationship is everything. Every player who suits up in Stripers red and gold is a prospect in the Braves organization — either on his way up to Truist Park or a veteran working his way back to the majors.

A Stripers-Redbirds matchup is a collision of two premier development pipelines, and the on-field product reflects that quality at every position.
