Of all the pitchers to make an appearance for the Atlanta Braves, Adam McCreery was certainly one of them. The big 25-year-old left-hander was acquired by Atlanta back in May 2016, when they sent Jhoulys Chacin to the Angels. Since then, Chacin has accumulated 6.3 fWAR while the Braves have had literally just one pitcher amass that much value in that span (Mike Foltynewicz with 7.0 fWAR), so, that’s cool, I guess.
McCreery started his 2018 season in Double-A after causing a bit of headscratching when he was added to the 40-man roster ahead of last December’s Rule 5 draft.
