When you get to be Ryan Braun’s age, and you are a professional baseball player, the decline of your career is inevitable. It happens to even the best. There is no way around it. As Brewers’ fans, we have witnessed that decline in the Brewers’ outfielder. What is often the case, however, is that with the truly elite, the decline takes a longer path down. Ryan Braun demonstrated in 2019 that he still has a stretch of road left on his path before he gets to the end.
In 2019, Braun slashed .285/.343/.505 while slamming 22 home runs.
