There hasn't been a lot to be excited about this season with the Atlanta Braves. Blips of optimism have appeared randomly, but overall, this has been a challenging year for the Braves.

However, another thing that has changed is the team's aggressiveness on the base paths. Part of that stems from Ronald Acuña Jr. missing most of the 2024 season and the first two months of 2025.
