The Atlanta Braves' offense has not exactly gotten rave reviews in 2025. After putting up a historic 2023 season and being on track to be one of the great offenses in baseball lore, the Braves' lineup has looked mediocre at best lately and ranks just 15th by fWAR (12.2) in all of baseball and that is only because Ronald Acuña Jr. has been on a warpath since he returned from the IL. For many Braves fans, new hitting coach Tim Hyers deserves a share of the blame for the drop-off.
While the actual impact of assistant coaches is extremely debatable, it is pretty hard to ignore that Atlanta's offense has gotten strictly worse under Hyers and that it is looking more and like former hitting coach Kevin Seitzer was not the problem.
