It was a wild year for Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia.

Many were shocked when he won the starting shortstop role before the season. He picked up an extension. He was hot to start the season, suffered an injury, then picked up where he left off and became an All-Star for the first time in his career.

Brian Murphy at MLB.com put together his list of surprises for players listed on the All-MLB ballot. (You can vote here.) Going position by position, he named Arcia as a surprise name on the ballot when looking at shortstop. Here’s more of what Murphy wrote:

Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, Orlando Arcia, Austin Riley, Sean Murphy, Marcell Ozuna, Ronald Acuna Jr., and Spencer Strider are all of the Braves on the All-MLB ballot.

How long until pitchers and catchers report?

91 days. Atlanta’s expected to ask pitchers and catchers to report on Monday, February 12th, in advance of their first spring training game on February 24th against the Tampa Bay Rays. An official announcement of the reporting date will come in January.
