Braves Rewind: Whatever happened to…Mark Wohlers?

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves, Mark Wohlers, Pitcher

Among those of us who were young'uns in the '90s, Wohlers was one of the first pitchers we saw who could hit triple digits and do it consistently. Seeing a pitcher throw a ball that fast filled young fans such as myself with awe.

The Braves drafted Wohlers in 1988 and he debuted in 1991, taking part in a no-hitter that September, but not until 1995 did he make a significant impact. His first save of the year came June 5 against the Cubs and he just took off after that. He struck out 23 batters in 13.
