Atlanta Braves Ender Inciarte Heating up At the Right Time For Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves are getting important production from their center fielder at the right time. Inciarte is enjoying a second-half surge that could force him into more playing time for Atlanta.

Ender Inciarte has been one of the best parts of the Braves recent seasons. Making jaw-dropping catches in center field while hitting around .300 and swiping bases. This season has been a different story for the outfielder.

While struggling this season Ender has lost his leadoff spot to Ronald Acuna Jr. and some playing time to Adam Duvall.

Hitting .241 before the break Atlanta decided to divide Ender’s playing time in center with Acuna. All Inciarte has done since then is make plays for his team. He is now hitting .322 since the break and coming up with key hits.

Those key hits include a game-winning RBI triple against Washington this week. Inciarte is reminding Braves fans just how important he will be to a potential postseason run.

Showing the player he has been in Atlanta for the last two years, the player who struggled so badly to start the season disappearing.

Ender is a gold-glove center fielder and a team-first player who has taken his demotion with grace. He isn’t talking to the media telling them how deserving he is of starting every day.

Something he could easily do with his track record, instead, he is letting his level of play do the talking going out and doing anything he can to help his team win.

Winning is all that matters to Inciarte and the Braves. After long years of being the doormat of the National League, the Braves are finally ready to push for the postseason once again.

With no one player exemplifying their season then Ender Inciarte. Yes, he may have struggled but he is a team-first player who is shaking off his struggles and coming up big when the team is going to need him the most.
