The Atlanta Braves faced an unanticipated 2024 season, marked by injuries and performance struggles that culminated in a disappointing early playoff exit. After a promising start, where they posted a 19-9 record in March and April, the season quickly deteriorated with key players like Sean Murphy and Ronald Acuña Jr. suffering significant injuries. Despite a strong pitching performance, the team struggled maintaining consistency and finished the season with 89 wins. As they head into 2025, expectations are high, bolstered by a clean bill of health and the anticipated return of two star players.
Instead, the Braves are entering 2025 looking to set the record straight after they limped into the Postseason with 89 wins and suffered a very early exit.
Now that they have a (mostly) clean bill of health heading into this season and two of the game's best players set to eventually return, expectations are once again high.
Despite injuries and underperformance, the Braves managed to go 19-9 in the March/April stretch, which probably ultimately saved their season.
Chris Sale quickly emerges as the ace of the rotation in Strider's absence and ends up dominating all year in a fantastic comeback season.
