When the majority of your position players are ranked within the Top 100, it’s a strong indicator of having a formidable team.
According to the recent announcement by ESPN, their annual Top 100 list showcases the elite players across Major League Baseball, and fans of the Braves have reason to celebrate.
Leading the list is Ronald Acuña Jr., the star right fielder for the Braves, who recently clinched the NL MVP title after an exceptional season, marking a first in MLB history with 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases. As Ronald enters the 2024 season, anticipation is high for what he can achieve, especially after his remarkable performance in 2023, where he rebounded from a cautious approach in 2022 due to a knee injury. With impressive statistics and a reduced strikeout rate, Ronald’s potential to make history with a 50-50 season is a subject of widespread excitement among baseball enthusiasts worldwide.
Another standout player, Matt Olson, ranked 12th on the list, following his outstanding 2023 season with a .283/.389/.604 batting line and 54 home runs, showcasing a career-best performance. Despite his fluctuating career trajectory in previous years, Olson’s consistent evolution and strong metrics from 2023 suggest he could maintain his momentum into the 2024 season. With Olson now in his third full season with the Braves, the team’s lineup looks poised for a successful 2024 campaign.
