Braves RHP Mike Foltynewicz made news on Wednesday for taking time to acknowledge a young fan who had made contact with him via Twitter. The two shared a day together at SunTrust, and Folty was able to deliver a special experience to a devoted young man.

Foltynewicz started the initiative on May 5, when he paid a surprise visit to his neighborhood buddy, Kaiden Drum, and his third-grade classmates at Due West Elementary School. The pitcher's friendship with Drum had started a few months earlier after he had walked up the street to shoot basketball with the young boy.
