The Atlanta Braves have had to lean on depth in 2024 amid injuries to superstars Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spencer Strider. Veteran starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez has stepped up to say the least. The 30-year-old has pitched to a league leading 1.73 ERA across 10 starts during the 2024 campaign so far.
Lopez had not started a game since 2022 before the '24 season. He had not made more than 10 starts in a single season since 2019 either. So how is Lopez finding so much success with the Braves?
