2025 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Dylan Lee
"Dylan Lee was released by the Marlins at the end of 2021 Spring Training. He was signed to a minor league deal by the Braves two weeks later. He was a tenth round pick by the Marlins in 2016.

He had prior Triple-A success and brief Atlanta appearances, including a World Series start. In 2025 he posted a 2.11 ERA, 3.00 FIP, and 3.15 xFIP while allowing 13 homers in 68 1/3 innings, and he improved his strikeout-to-walk ratio by lowering his walk rate.
