The Atlanta Braves entered the 2025 season with World Series aspirations, so it caught many people off guard when they went winless in the first week of the season.
Considering that no team in Major League Baseball history has made the playoffs after losing their first seven games, it seemed like Atlanta’s season was over before it even began.
Despite starting behind the eight ball, it only took until the middle of May for the Braves to completely revive their season, and the catalyst of Atlanta’s impressive turnaround has been a 24-year-old catcher.
Drake Baldwin only has 18 starts under his belt, but he’s been hitting like a seasoned veteran in his rookie season.
