Orlando Arcia was one of the bigger surprises for the Atlanta Braves in 2022. When Ozzie Albies went down to injury on June 13, there was worry about how the Braves would address second base. The Atlanta Braves were a very good team on paper, but infield depth was not exactly a strength. At least, that was what it looked like at first.
Once his name was called to take over, Orlando Arcia took the reins at second base until a leg injury suffered while running to second on a doubele led to Vaughn Grissom’s major league debut.
