Coming into the 2021 season, one of the things that Braves fans were most looking forward to was the return of Mike Soroka as he recovered from an Achilles injury. Unfortunately, that is not how things worked out and 2022 comes with more questions than answers.
How Acquired
The Braves used the 28th overall pick in the 2015 draft to select Mike Soroka out of the Canadian prep ranks. After a reasonable pro debut in rookie ball that year, an adjustment as to where he pushed off from on the rubber gave him the edge he needed to better compete against lefties and he was named the Opening Day starter for the Rome Braves.
