Braves 2020 Player Review: Johan Camargo

After a hot spring training, it appeared that the Braves were ready to start the season with Johan Camargo as the every day 3rd baseman. Then came the Covid.

Camargo strained a hamstring in an intra-squad game as the Braves prepared for the delayed July start, and got off to a terrible start at the plate. He lost the 3rd base job to Austin Riley, and was ultimately sent to the alternate training site on September 9th. Johan only got 127 plate appearances in the regular season, the final numbers reading: .200/.244/.367.

After Adam Duvall injured an oblique in game one of the NLCS, Camargo was activated for the remainder of the series, where he platooned with Nick Markakis against left-handers.
