Bryce Elder is turning heads this spring with an impressive velocity uptick, reminiscent of Hall of Famer Ryan, as he aims to build on a solid 2025 season where he consistently went deep into games. Meanwhile, the bullpen is heating up in North Port, with Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, and newcomers James Karinchak and Hayden Harris showcasing their potential, adding intrigue to the competition for late-inning roles. Austin Riley also made noise by launching a home run in the Braves' 3-1 victory over the Pirates, highlighting his readiness for the regular season.

And in a nod to Atlanta's rich history, Tom Glavine's son has signed a minor league deal, proving that the legacy of legends continues.
