It’s been less than a week since new Atlanta Braves OF Jurickson Profar arrived in North Port, Florida to meet his new teammates and coaches. He arrived with Pitchers and Catchers on Feb. 12. Already the 31-year-old Curacao native says he feels like he’s at home.
Profar told reporters at the Braves Spring Training facility on Friday he could barely contain his excitement over being there.
“I couldn’t wait and I can’t wait to put this uniform on opening day and the season. I can’t wait,” Profar said.
