NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Was Dylan Dodd even considered a long shot for the Braves' rotation when Spring Training began? “I saw him on the back field and I was like, ‘Who is this Dodd guy?’” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. Well, Dodd is a young left-hander constructing an unexpected

BRADENTON, Fla. -- Jared Shuster is showing why he ranks as the Braves’ No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline. He’s also creating reason to believe that he’s the best candidate to begin the season as Atlanta’s fifth starter. Shuster has authored one of the most encouraging storylines in Braves camp

NORTH PORT, Fla. -- Last spring, Michael Harris II was slated to head to Double-A Mississippi, and Spencer Strider was debatably a reliever. The two Braves youngsters went on to sweep the top two spots in the National League Rookie of the Year voting. The Braves' system has a much

Winning does not come without a cost. The Braves have won five straight National League East titles and of course were World Series champions in 2021. That’s a run that’s hard to pull off in any fashion. Keeping that going while maintaining a deep farm system? That’s close to impossible.

PEORIA, Ariz. – Orioles outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad is so hot right now, his guess of an answer for a very obscure baseball trivia question was on the nose. He and Braves infielder Cal Conley both hit inside-the-park home runs in the Scottsdale Scorpions’ 6-4 win over the Peoria Javelinas

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- There are some well-worn baseball axioms that, while overused, are very true when attributed to the right players.
