Baldwin is scorching the ball harder than anyone in Grapefruit League
NORTH PORT, Fla. -- It’s not wise to put too much credence in the batting averages, on-base percentages and slugging percentages generated by Spring Training’s small sample. But it’s hard to overlook the impressive hard-hit rate produced by Braves catcher Drake Baldwin over the past few weeks. “He just barrels
He's pitched the equivalent of a full game this spring. The result? A 17-K no-hitter
Officially, it's been well over a year since someone threw a no-hitter at the Major League level. Unofficially -- and if you'll allow for a bit of creative math -- Didier Fuentes (the Braves' No. 3 prospect) completed one on Wednesday, and you're going to want to see this.

Acuña making up for lost World Series in World Baseball Classic
MIAMI -- "When we went to the World Series," Ronald Acuña Jr. said earlier this week, "I wasn't there. Thank God I'm living this great moment in my career." When the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in 2021, Acuña was reduced to spectator. A torn ACL had relegated the

Dubón preps for season of versatility after Opening Day start at short
NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Mauricio Dubón will begin the season as Atlanta’s starting shortstop. But he will enter the season knowing that on any given day he could play a variety of positions, including left field, which is where he started Monday afternoon’s 11-2 win over the Rays. This marked

Is Harris on cusp of a renaissance? These spring trends look promising

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Ronald Acuña Jr: This is the platonic ideal of the World Baseball Classic. With a nearly packed crowd at Miami’s loanDepot park, Saturday's quarterfinal matchup -- an 8-5 Venezuela win over Japan -- started with the reigning World Series MVP Award winner taking on the 2023 NL

Braves' 13-game grind to open season will affect pitching plans
NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Roster decisions made this time of year won’t make sense if you are only gauging immediate value.

NORTH PORT, Fla. -- A little more than a month ago, I predicted Chris Bassitt would be part of Atlanta’s Opening Day roster.
