[April 01, 2010]  KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Police in Florida say a minor league pitcher in the Atlanta Braves farm system has been charged with two prostitution-related misdemeanors after a sting conducted not far from the team's spring training facility.

HardwareRight-handed pitcher Deunte Heath bonded out of jail Friday. Kissimmee police spokeswoman Stacie Miller says the 24-year-old ballplayer was arrested Thursday night when he allegedly responded to Internet prostitution ads and agreed to pay $75 for a sex act.

Braves spokesman Brad Hainje says he is unable to comment until he has more information.
