Can Walt Weiss’s Surprise Strategy Keep the Atlanta Braves Dominating MLB?
“Our whole roster is just, I think, deeper,” Weiss gushed after the victory. “Position players are in a much better place than they were a year ago. Our bullpen is, I think, considerably better. Our bench is considerably better. So it’s a more complete team, and it’s more versatile, more athletic.”
Coming off a massively disappointing 2025 that saw the Braves miss the postseason for the first time in nearly a decade, outside expectations were lower than normal heading into 2026. Then Atlanta had a brutal spring training, with injuries to key arms in Spencer Schwellenbach, Spencer Strider and Hurston Waldrep and a full-season PED suspension for outfielder Jurickson Profar.
