Over the past several years, the Braves have been a popular landing spot for players whose careers are in need of resurrection. Attribute that to the welcoming clubhouse atmosphere, the abilities of the players to absorb coaching from Kevin Seitzer, or pure coincidence, but Atlanta has developed a reputation for summoning the best from their new arrivals.
The Braves added Chipper Jones to their vaunted coaching staff on Monday, announcing that the Hall of Fame third baseman will begin working in a part-time role as major league hitting consultant. This is notable as Jones has long been praised for his knowledge and teaching ability, which was on full display with Dansby Swanson in 2019.
