Okay, let’s spell this out for you right up top. Through 18 games, the Atlanta Braves have had two hits from their pinch hitters…TWO! While we’re here, how about we also include they’ve walked three times…JUST THREE!
If we dive just a little deeper into those stats, Braves primary catcher, Tyler Flowers, got one of those hits and two of the walks. Those were in the games that he was working his way back from his hamstring injury.
The Braves are 29th in the MLB (30 teams) in OPS with a .225 for 2017.
