Mike Foltynewicz will be making his season debut today for the Atlanta Braves after missing essentially the first month of this season will bone spur issues in his right elbow. This debut has been long anticipated after “Folty” had a dominant breakout season in 2018. Last season he posted career bests with a 2.85 ERA in 31 starts to go along with a winning record (13-10).
The big 27-year-old right hander recorded 200 strikeouts for his first time ever at any level of baseball, coming to life by ditching his sinker and going slider heavy.
