Atlanta Braves: Kyle Wright Makes Strong Statement to Be in Rotation
Tuesday’s game against the New York Yankees didn’t feel like a normal Spring Training game for the Atlanta Braves. There was a lot on the line for Kyle Wright.
With all of the injuries and lackluster outings from other starting pitchers in the Atlanta Braves rotation, Kyle Wright made a huge statement on Tuesday.
Going up against a lot of the regulars for the New York Yankees, Wright tossed three scoreless innings allowing just 2 hits and no walks with 3 strikeouts.
The outing was not only huge for Wright, but for the Atlanta Braves as well. The former fifth overall draft pick displayed the potential that made him such a high pick.
