Battery Power • • sports
Key Points:
- Matt Olson is having an outstanding season, on pace for 55 home runs and 65 doubles, with a 171 wRC+ and leading the NL in fWAR while providing elite defense at first base.
- Alongside Olson, Drake Baldwin, Michael Harris, and Ozzie Albies have been key offensive contributors for the Braves.
- Ronald Acuna is expected to miss time due to a hamstring injury, creating a need for Austin Riley to step up offensively.
- Riley has shown signs of resurgence with two strong games in Coors, including a significant home run, which could signal a turning point for his production.
- While the Braves have started the season well, some offensive regression is anticipated, especially if Acuna remains sidelined.
