2025 Atlanta Braves Player Review: Scott Blewett

Now granted, Brian Snitker didn't really use him as an opener more than he did as a "Guy who can just go out and pitch until the wheels fall off in the third inning" but still, Blewett goes down as one of the many, many pitchers who took part in the cavalcade that was Atlanta's deployment of pitchers in 2025. Now it's time to take a look at how Blewett's short stint ended up going for him here in Atlanta.

Is it more important to find the right manager or shortstop?

The right shortstop could play 150+ games (well I guess we're all about that club 162, though right?), hit above average and field at least average shortstop level. The Braves lineup looked much better with Ha-Seong Kim rather than the more offensively-challenged group of Nick Allen, Orlando Arcia, and Luke Williams (although Vidal Brujan was decent). The right shortstop could add two or as many as eight wins to a playoff-adjacent team.

Should the Braves send Bryce Elder off for a change of scenery?

The Braves are obsessed with covering innings. Brian Snitker talks about it... The pitchers themselves talk about it, and I have no trouble believing that guys like Elder have internalized the messaging.
