Cornely has been lights out in Danville for the Braves. Stats line is pretty amazing with 30 Ks in just 18 innings.

Currently at AA Mississippi Braves. Strong fast ball; very promising, but needs to reduce his number of walks per nine innings.

Saw a tweet from Lee Long(@palmettosports) that Cornley recorded 6 strikeouts in 2.1 IP on Sunday for the Mississippi Braves.

One of his teammate/relievers just got moved up to the majors; Braves have high hopes for Cornely too.

Braves giving John a look in spring training; so far so good. Reminds me of Maddux. http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/team/play ... evel='MLB'
