The good news for the Atlanta Braves as we continue to progress through the early portions of spring training is that two days of camp have come and gone and the Braves haven’t had anybody else go on the 60-Day IL. Here’s hoping that this continues long into spring training, the World Baseball Classic and […]

America’s pastime has had many layers over the years and has been played throughout many countries and historical periods, including wars we still look back on today. Although many records have been erased from history books, and notable players weren’t given the credit they deserved to justify their talent, it’s important to look and recognize […]

The land of movies that are so bad that they’re good but somehow still wrap back around to being bad will be sharing some space with baseball this Spring. Major League Baseball has revealed the broadcast schedule for this year’s World Baseball Classic and things are pretty simple when it comes to figuring out which […]

I’m shamelessly stealing from the comments, here. Unless there’s a move on the rotation side, Bryce Elder will probably begin the year in Atlanta’s rotation. Joey Wentz is out of options, as is Elder. Seems reasonable — unless you’re willing to roll the dice on the Braves going in a very different direction at this […]

Well Chris Bassitt is off the board with a 1 year $18.5 million deal with the Orioles after it really felt like Bassitt would land in Atlanta. The terms of that deal seems like it would have been fairly palatable to an Atlanta front office that loves a one year deal. I wonder if they […]

Well, nobody went on the 60-Day IL today so I’d consider that a success! The night is still young so I’m definitely knocking on wood here but hopefully we’re past the bad injury luck for the time being. That clubhouse needs it and the fanbase needs it as well. Phew. Anyways, here’s a random clip. […]

The Atlanta Braves got some more bad news when it was discovered that Spencer Schwellenbach will need arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow. This leads to wondering what the way forward. It was widely expected that the Braves would try to land a playoff caliber starting pitcher this off-season, which obviously has not happened yet. […]

For best tools when it comes to pitchers, click here. Best Hitter – John Gil It was quite the first full season for John Gil, as he was the catalyst at the top of a young and exciting Augusta GreenJackets lineup and showed advanced ability at the plate at just 19 years old. Early in […]

Walt Weiss gave the press some more injury news today. To no Braves fan’s surprise, it’s not good news. Oy. It’s the song that never ends. Jimenez, already having lost the 2025 season with a left articular cartilage injury and further surgery in November, may be out for 2026. The Braves, after placing Spencer Schwellenbach […]

When it comes to projection models like FanGraphs and PECOTA, the Atlanta Braves have some very high expectations in 2026. However, they’ve still got a ways to go when it comes to convincing some pundits out there — particularly the panel of five people who were chosen to make predictions for USA Today when it […]

Alright, baseball nihilism time. Or, at least, pessimism, I guess. Back in December, reports on Spencer Schwellenbach’s health were good. Now, not so good. Very bad, really. Joe Jimenez was more of an expected outcome at this point. Much of the roster could more or less suffer the same turn of events…and Ha-Seong Kim already […]

Tuesday made for a busy day for the Atlanta Braves, as pitchers and catchers reported to the spring training facility in North Port, Florida. There were several storylines from the day, and in 2025 fashion, not all of them were great. Most notably, it was announced that starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has some inflammation in […]

The Braves traded Wisely […]

Heading into this season, the Braves were anticipating that Spencer Schwellenbach would be healthy and ready to go after he had his 2025 season cut short due to a fractured elbow. Unfortunately, here on the first day of pitchers and catchers being at spring training, it’s become clear that Schwellenbach’s elbow is still bothering him. […]

Do y’all remember the time when Baseball Prospectus would drop their annual PECOTA projections and there would be gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the Braves Country corner of the internet? That was because for years, if there was any team that represented the whole “PECOTA hates your team” belief, it was the […]

Atlanta Braves pitchers and catchers have officially reported to spring training and as it turns out, there’s another catcher who has joined the Braves for the first day of camp. I suppose that things have been hectic down there in North Port because we didn’t get the usual Braves tweet with a block of white […]

Prior entries: Back when I was working on IWAG a lot, I noticed a dichotomy of sorts. For position players, IWAG did basically about as well as Steamer and ZiPS, which wasn’t really surprising, given that it was made to try and replicate them. No matter what year I looked at, no system really beat […]

With spring training and the regular season right around the corner and with some new openings on the staff here at Battery Power, we’ve decided to officially open up applications in order to find new writers! If you’d like a chance to write about the Braves for what is (in our own biased opinion) the […]

I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but I kept up with it enough to be able to not be flat-footed if it comes up today, so you can see where the question comes from. Pitchers’ duels are tense — one pitch can end up carrying enough win expectancy to crystallize the final result. Slugfests are […]

The Super Bowl was pretty fun. And a certain Brave had a pretty good view of both the game and the half time show. While Ronald Acuna Jr. likely had fun seeing football up close, you know that he and his teammates are ready for later this week as Spring Training gets under way. Pitchers […]

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuńa, Jr. made a surprise appearance during Bad Bunny’s Halftime show during NFL’s Super Bowl on Sunday night. After the performance, MTV’s social media posted a photo showing actor Pedro Pascal, but standing to his left was a familiar face to Braves fans. None other than La Bestia! It’s a fun […]
