Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, June 5, 2015 Braves.Com Atlanta Braves Clippings Friday, June 5, 2015 Braves.com Braves eye talent with potential for immediate impact Atlanta likely to use abundance of early picks on pitchers, local players By Mark Bowman / MLB.com | @mlbbowman | June 4th, 2015 The 2015 Draft will take place from Monday through Wednesday, beginning with the Draft preview show on MLB.com and MLB Network on Monday at 6 p.m. ET. Live Draft coverage from MLB Network's Studio 42 begins at 7 p.m., with the top 75 picks being streamed on MLB.com and broadcast on MLB Network. MLB.com's exclusive coverage of Day 2 begins with a live Draft show at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, with exclusive coverage of Day 3 beginning at 1 p.m. on Wednesday. MLB.com's coverage includes Draft Central, the Top 200 Draft Prospects list and Draft Tracker, a live interactive application that includes a searchable database of over 1,700 Draft-eligible players. Every selection will be tweeted live from @MLBDraftTracker, and you can also keep up to date by following @MLBDraft. And get into the Draft conversation by tagging your tweets with #mlbdraft. Here's how the Draft is shaping up for the Braves, whose first selection is the 14th overall pick. In about 50 words The Braves have five of this year's first 75 selections and six of the first 89. They will be targeting high-upside players and shying away from some of the "safe picks" they made under different leadership the past few seasons. The last time the Braves had the 14th overall selection, they took Jason Heyward. The scoop The Braves' Draft will be overseen by first-year scouting director Brian Bridges and Roy Clark, his mentor, who rejoined Atlanta's organization as a special assistant to the general manager in October. When Clark drew high regard as the Braves' scouting director from 2000-09, he consistently targeted local talent and pitching. Such will likely be the case this year. Though Atlanta gained an impressive pitching crop with the trades it made during the offseason, it is expected to target high school pitchers during this year's early rounds. This seems to be a Draft in which some of the top arms are projected to be relievers at the Major League level. But the Braves will still attempt to grab some of the high-ceiling hurlers who have the potential to start. First-round buzz While pitching will likely account for most of Atlanta's early picks, the Braves have their eyes on a couple local high school position players -- catcher Tyler Stephenson (Kennesaw Mountain High School) and shortstop Cornelius Randolph (Griffin High School) -- who are both expected to go in the first round. "We're looking for high-upside, championship-caliber players that can impact our system immediately," Bridges said. Money matters Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each team has an allotted bonus pool equal to the sum of the values of that club's selections in the first 10 rounds of the Draft. The more picks a team has, and the earlier it picks, the larger the pool. The signing bonuses for a team's selections in the first 10 rounds, plus any bonus greater than $100,000 for a player taken after the 10th round, will apply toward the bonus-pool total. Any team going up to 5 percent over its allotted pool will be taxed at a 75 percent rate on the overage. A team that overspends by 5-10 percent gets a 75 percent tax plus the loss of a first-round pick. A team that goes 10-15 percent over its pool amount will be hit with a 100 percent penalty on the overage and the loss of a first- and second-round pick. Any overage of 15 percent or more gets a 100 percent tax plus the loss of first-round picks in the next two Drafts. Over the past few years, the Braves have shied away from providing an over-slot bonus to their selections. While they will likely attempt to extend this trend, Clark has proven to be very aggressive throughout this career. Because the Braves have 13 selections through the first 10 rounds, they have a generous bonus pool of $10,684,100 -- the fourth largest in the Majors. The value assigned to Atlanta's first pick is $2,842,400. Shopping list Though the Braves will attempt to further strengthen their pitching crop, they have a need for catchers and power-hitting outfielders. Braxton Davidson, last year's top selection, has the potential to fill that role, but he's the only true power-hitting outfield prospect in Atlanta's system. Trend watch This year's Draft will more likely mirror those previously run by Clark, who coveted Georgia's talent and extended the tradition Bobby Cox and Paul Snyder started back in the 1980s -- stockpiling pitchers. RECENT DRAFT HISTORY Rising fast Lucas Sims has had to make some adjustments since being selected out of suburban Atlanta's Parkview High School in the first round of the 2012 Draft. The Braves were encouraged by what they saw, as Sims' fastball sat between 94-97 mph during the latter part of April and early May. But just when the righty was about to get promoted to Double-A Mississippi, he was sidelined after the bus crash involving Class A Advanced Carolina. Sims has not yet resumed pitching, but when he does, he has the potential to move through the system quickly. Cinderella story Right-hander Steve Janas pushed himself into the top six rounds of the 2013 Draft after posting a 1.14 ERA and going 9-1 with Kennesaw State during his junior year (one year after recovering from Tommy John surgery). After he was selected by the Braves with the 193rd overall pick, Janas struggled in Rookie ball and Class A, posting a 5.79 ERA and a 4.52 ERA, respectively. This year has been a different story for the 6-foot-6 hurler, who has posted a 0.56 ERA in five starts with Carolina. In The Show After trading away Heyward and Evan Gattis during the offseason, the Braves' Major League club features fewer homegrown talents than previous seasons. Freddie Freeman (2007, second round) and Andrelton Simmons (2010, second round) have become faces of the franchise, while Alex Wood (2012, second round) is establishing himself as one of the game's top young starters. The Braves' recent top picks 2014: Davidson, OF, Class A Rome 2013: Jason Hursh, RHP, Double-A Mississippi 2012: Sims, RHP, Class A Advanced Carolina 2011: Sean Gilmartin, LHP, Mets 2010: Matt Lipka, CF, Double-A Mississippi Atlanta Journal-Constitution Braves trying to improve majors’ worst bullpen By David O'Brien - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution PHOENIX — If Braves officials had known they’d trade Craig Kimbrel the night before the season opener, and left-hander Josh Outman would have shoulder issues and be diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, and Arodys Vizcaino would get an 80-game suspension for performance- enhancing drugs, they would have added more bullpen depth last winter. The Kimbrel trade, Vizcaino suspension and Outman injury all happened before opening day, as did Shae Simmons’ Tommy John elbow surgery. Lefty Andrew McKirahan’s 80-game PED suspension came down two weeks into season. Now, the Braves are scrambling to fix a bullpen that’s the worst in the major leagues, a bullpen that frittered away leads in three losses during a 4-6 trip, which ended Wednesday with a blown lead in a 9-8 loss at Arizona. Braves relievers allowed 22 earned runs and six homers in 22 innings on the trip, leaving their majors-worst ERA at 4.81, with a majors-leading 90 runs allowed in the seventh inning or later for an ERA over 5.00. “We went 4-6, and we had a chance to go 6-4, maybe even better than that,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, “if (in) some of those innings that they scored, some of those middle innings, we get some shutdowns there.” In the late innings of close games, Braves pitchers rank worst in the majors in opponents’ average (.283), opponents’ slugging percentage (.480), and home runs allowed (14). Relievers allowed 12 of those 14 homers. The Braves are pleased with the work of Grilli and Luis Avilan, and for the most part Jim Johnson. But there have been plenty of rough nights from all others who’ve spent time in the bullpen. The Braves have shuttled rookies and others back and forth to Triple-A in an effort to get fresh arms and find a right mix. So far, Gonzalez has not found that mix. “It’s not the ideal spot to be in right now, and it kills me watching us give it up (in late innings) nightly,” said John Hart, Braves president of baseball operations. “We’re working the phones hard.” Hart and assistant general manager John Coppolella are scouring the market for reinforcements. The Braves have no intention of trading top young talent to acquire bullpen help and won’t overpay to sign a Rafael Soriano. With so many teams still harboring hopes of a wild-card berth, things might not heat up on the trade front until closer to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and by then the Braves could have Vizcaino and McKirahan back from suspensions. For now, more likely targets seem to be pitchers with opt-out clauses, such as left-hander Dana Eveland or Robert Coello, who this week became free agents.

  • Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.Com
    Atlanta Braves Clippings Thursday, September 10, 2020 Braves.com Braves set NL standard with 29-run outburst Atlanta breaks Modern Era record in National League (since 1900) By Mark Bowman ATLANTA -- Adam Duvall produced his second three-homer game within an eight-day span to help the Braves roll to a record-setting 29-9 win over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park. Duvall became the first player to record two three-homer games while wearing a Braves uniform, and his efforts helped Atlanta set a National League record for runs in a game in the modern era (since 1900). “That was pretty amazing to be a part of,” Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman said. “I’ve never seen an offense click like that.” The Braves fell just one run short of tying the modern record for runs scored in a game, set when the Rangers defeated the Orioles, 30-3, in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2007, at Camden Yards. Dating back to 1900, no NL club had scored more than 28 runs in a game. The Braves’ franchise record was 23, a mark tallied during the second game of a doubleheader against the Cubs on Sept. 2, 1957. Ronald Acuña Jr. contributed to his three-hit night with a three-run home run to cap a six-run fifth. But it was his bases-loaded double in the sixth inning that gave the Braves a new franchise record for runs in a single game, opening a 25-8 lead. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Atlanta became the first MLB team to score at least 22 runs through the first five innings since the Blue Jays (24 runs) in a win over the Orioles on June 26, 1978.

    The Newsletter of the Atlanta 400 Baseball Fan Club ________________________________________________________________________________ April 2021 By Dave Badertscher After 18 long months without “live” Braves baseball in Atlanta, more than 14,000 masked, socially distanced fans turned out for Opening Night at Truist Park on Friday, April 9. When the gates opened the stadium began filling to 33% capacity, our eyes drawn to “44” etched in center field as “real” fans replaced the cardboard cutouts of 2020. We eagerly anticipated a much needed in-person baseball experience. It was high time for a rematch of the opening series in Philly, which had not gone well for our guys. Charlie Morton vs. Zack Wheeler rebooted. Braves fans were pumped! What would Opening Night at a Braves game be without evoking memories of the franchise’s 50+ years relationship with the city of Atlanta and the South? A moving pregame ceremony paid tribute to the passing of Bill Bartholomay, Phil Niekro, Don Sutton, and Hank Aaron, highlighting their legendary contributions to the team, the game of baseball, and our community. Fan Club member Wayne Coleman (pictured bottom right) played “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Timothy Miller sang the “National Anthem.” Jets flew over. Fans stood and cheered. Braves Country at its best. The Tomahawk Times April 2021 Page 2 The Phillies brought an impressive, early 5-1 record to town. The pitching duel between Morton and Wheeler held until Ronald Acuna launched a 456 foot, two-run blast and the Braves scored three in the bottom of the 5th. The red-hot Acuna ending up going 4 for 5 and made a sensational run-saving catch in the 6th.
