Atlanta Braves Opening Day countdown: 32, Charlie

He pitched just three seasons for the Atlanta Braves, but Charlie Leibrandt did plenty over his three years on the mound for the Braves in the early 1990s.

Leibrandt was initially drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 9th round of the 1978 June draft from Miami-Ohio. He was up quickly, making his major league debut in 1979. He spent the 1980 season primarily in the back of the Reds rotation.

Leibrandt struggled through arm issues in 1981 and 1982 that held him to a total of 137 2/3 innings combined between the two seasons.
