2021 Braves player review: Huascar Ynoa

Huascar Ynoa was one of the few bright spots for the Braves in April and May, but an unfortunate moment of frustration during a start in Milwaukee derailed his season. And despite returning in time for the playoff push and eventual postseason roster, Ynoa failed to make much of an impact following his early season fireworks.

Ynoa has been with the Braves’ organization since mid-2017. He came over in a deal with the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Jaime Garcia at the Trade Deadline. Considered very raw at the time, Ynoa quickly rose through the minor league levels and debuted with the Braves in 2019.
