There’s a lot of interesting stuff going on with the Braves right now. Austin Riley has come out of the gates on fire and is already starting to garner attention for Rookie of the Year voting. Any rumors of a sophomore slump for Ronald Acuña Jr. are greatly exaggerated. Mike Soroka and Max Fried are starting to make names for themselves, and they’ll be joined by Dallas Keuchel sooner than we all expected.
The point is that there’s plenty to talk about for a team that’s right in the thick of things when it comes to the NL East and the postseason picture in general.
