The Braves selected Spencer Strider in the fourth round of the 2020 Draft, and he quickly became a rotation stalwart, earning a six-year extension worth $75 million.
Expectations for Strider were sky-high, with projections suggesting he would lead the majors in WAR in 2024, establishing himself as possibly the best pitcher in baseball.
Injuries plagued Strider in 2024, a twist that few anticipated after he managed to avoid significant injury issues during the previous two seasons.
Strider's journey from a minor league selection to Opening Day starter demonstrates Atlanta's confidence in his talent, despite the unfortunate turn of injuries.
