Spencer Schwellenbach showcased dominant pitching against a strong Yankees lineup, striking out 10 batters over 6 scoreless innings, hinting at his Cy Young potential. The Braves might have a formidable pitching trio with Chris Sale and Spencer Strider complementing Schwellenbach. Additionally, top prospect AJ Smith-Shawver's promising spring performance, along with Reynaldo Lopez's role as a solid fourth or fifth starter, may lead to an elite rotation. While Kimbrel returns in a new role and roster cuts approach, the Braves hope for their offense to meet expectations after last season's success.
