Hector Neris has signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves, including a non-roster invitation to Spring Training. Originally debuting in 2014, Neris had an inconsistent early career but achieved significant success from 2016 to 2019, with a 3.23 ERA and impressive strikeout rates. Despite a challenging 2018 season, affected by injuries and high home run rates, he managed a high strikeout percentage. The Braves are looking to leverage Neris's experienced background as he joins their Spring Training camp.
Neris struggled in 2018, posting a 5.10 ERA, but advanced metrics showed he had an impressive strikeout rate and minimal walk rate despite injuries.
During 2016-2019, Neris had a solid run with a 3.23 ERA, striking out 31.3% of batters and earning 67 saves, establishing himself as a reliable closer.
