There is no sugar coating it, the Atlanta Braves bullpen has been subpar.
With Shane Greene, Mark Melancon, and Darren O’Day no longer part of the Atlanta Braves organization, some regression in 2021 was to be expected. Young guys were going to have to step up, and veterans that were performing would have to continue to pull their weight.
The Braves pitching as a whole has been poor with an earned run average adjusted (ERA+) of 96, which translates to approximately 4% below average at preventing runs.
