Atlanta Braves News & Updates


Atlanta Braves Headlines

Ozzie Albies brought some heartwarming news to Atlanta this Valentine’s Day, surprising students at Lockheed Elementary with a visit. His engagement off the field reflects the community spirit that Braves fans cherish. While the spotlight often shines on players during games, gestures like this deepen the connection between the team and its supporters. Albies continues to establish himself as a team leader, not just in performance but in community involvement.

On the roster front, the clock is ticking as the Braves face a tightening market for starting pitchers. With Zac Gallen off the board, the options for bolstering the rotation are dwindling. The Braves will need to be strategic, especially with the uncertainty surrounding veteran pitcher Chris Sale. His resurgence last season was promising, but the contract situation looms large. If Sale can channel his competitive spirit into a strong start, it could ease some pressure on the front office.

As Spring Training ramps up, discussions around the use of the automated ball-strike system (ABS) will be crucial. With adjustments necessary for pitchers and catchers, how the Braves adapt could significantly impact their pitching strategy. Fans should keep an eye on how players adjust to these changes in the early games.

The Braves are gearing up for Opening Day with an eye on both the lineup and the challenges ahead. Expect more roster projections as Spring Training unfolds, with competition heating up for key spots. Keep that coffee hot, baseball season is just around the corner.

How will the Braves employ ABS this season?
As you may know, MLB will use an automated ball-strike system in nearly all games this season. Teams only get two of these in the first nine innings of a game, which isn’t nearly enough. If an umpire misses less than five ball-strike calls in a game, it’s a very good effort. So they probably […]
