"Bryce Elder has been getting the job done to the tune of a 98th percentile pitching run value, with a combination of walk avoidance, ground balls, inducing barrels, and quality strikeout numbers."
"Slade Cecconi has utilized his new cutter much more than Elder, throwing it 26% of the time, but he doesn't really miss bats or induce chases."
"Cecconi was in the 1st percentile in hard-hit%, 2nd percentile in avg exit velo and 3rd percentile in barrel% in 2025, indicating he can be hit hard."
The Braves will host the Guardians in a weekend series, featuring pitchers Bryce Elder and Slade Cecconi. Elder has excelled with a 98th percentile pitching run value, showcasing strong strikeout numbers and improved pitch depth. Cecconi, while not as effective, has also added a cutter to his repertoire. The Braves' offense is expected to challenge Cecconi, who struggles with hard contact. The matchup is set for Friday, April 10, at 7:15 p.m. EDT at Truist Park.
