Braves signed INF Kobe Kato to a minor league contract.
Kato, 25, was well-traveled during the 2024 season. He appeared in one game in the Astros’ organization at Double-A Corpus Christi, 32 games for the Mariners across three minor league affiliates and 64 games with the York Revolution in the independent Atlantic League. All told, he slashed .283/.393/.389 with one homer, 17 RBI, eight swipes and a 34/18 K/BB ratio across 135 plate appearances in affiliated ball. He’ll add minor league infield depth for the Braves.
