Weigel posted a 4.53 ERA in the 14 starts he made for Rookie-level Danville after the Braves selected him in the seventh round of the 2015 Draft. Consequently, he did not enter this season with much hype. But the 22-year-old right-hander garnered attention as he produced a 2.51 ERA and recorded 135 strikeouts in 129 innings for Class A Rome.

After receiving a late season promotion to Double-A Mississippi, Weigel posted a 2.18 ERA and notched 17 strikeouts while issuing eight walks in 20 2/3 innings (three starts).
