Over the past few years, the Atlanta Braves established themselves as a dominant offensive team, leading in multiple key metrics such as Barrel%, Hard-Hit%, and home runs. However, in 2025, their performance has declined significantly, ranking lower in key offensive categories. This coincides with a major coaching staff overhaul aimed at improving their approach, shifting from a slugging mentality to emphasizing on-base discipline. Unfortunately, these changes have not yielded the desired results, and the Braves are struggling to regain their previous offensive prowess.
The Braves led MLB in Barrel%, Hard-Hit%, HR, and ISO from 2022-2024, finishing only behind the Dodgers in runs scored during that period.
Despite injuries in 2023, the Braves ranked top 5 in Barrel%, average exit velocity, HR, and ISO, reflecting their offensive identity.
In 2025, after key coaching changes, the Braves' power metrics have dramatically dropped, ranking 10th in Barrel%, 12th in Hard-Hit%, 19th in HR, and 24th in ISO.
The shift in approach from slugging to focus on on-base and disciplined hitting has not yielded positive results for the Braves' offense.
