The reasons behind Orlando Arcia’s offensive breakout

The Atlanta Braves just clinched the National League East for the fifth straight year, and one of the reasons is because of their depth. Orlando Arcia stepped up in a big way when Ozzie Albies went down due to injury and preceded to have arguably the best offensive season of his career.

With a slash line of .244/.316/.416 and a wRC+ of 104 (four percent better than league average) in 2022, Arcia’s line does not set world on fire, but his season was much better than his career .243/.295/.369 slash line which equates to a wRC+ of 74.
