The Atlanta Braves are off to a division leading 19-11 start. The team is rolling looking much better than expected. With all the youthful excitement some contributions are getting lost on an exciting roster.

Ozzie Albies and Ronald Acuna Jr. are the talk of the Atlanta Braves fanbase and city. A baseball-starved city who loves their Braves and was tired of the misery of losing.

Early in the year, the Braves are rewarding the fan’s loyalty playing good baseball. It has been far too long since anything resembling good baseball was played in Atlanta.

With painful trades and even more painful seasons the Braves have been in full rebuild mode. It seems rebuilding days are over in Atlanta with the arrival of young prospects paired with consistent veteran talent.

While they are far from World Series favorites the Braves are opening a lot of eyes to just how good they can be.

Even with the national attention, many Atlanta fans are missing these key contributors to the Braves early success.
