Biff Pocoroba, who played catcher for the Atlanta Braves from 1975-1984, has died, the club confirmed Wednesday.
"We are saddened to hear of the passing for former Braves catcher Biff Pocoroba," the Braves said in a statement. "Biff spent his entire 10-year major league career with the Braves, was an All-Star in 1978 and a member of the 1982 division-winning club. We share our deepest condolences to his family and friends."
A native of Burbank, California, Pocoroba was selected by Atlanta in the 17th round of the 1971 amateur draft, breaking into the big leagues four years later in 1975.
