A guy made a comment on FB about braves history of RH pitchers and it got me to thinking. Every RH starter since Mazzone left who plays 4 yrs with braves loses there velocity. Think about it can you name 1 who came up with the braves who hasn't? Think of these names Hanson, Beachy,Medlen,Jair, Folty, Tehran. I understand Beachy and Medlen had injuries but the others were unexplained for most part. This had only happened to braves so what is causing it? And will Soroka lose his velocity in two or three years?

That said, no one knows the answer to your question. I do find it baffling that the organization seems to have learned nothing from the Mazzone years. Sure, he had some great talent to work with, but it also seemed that every pitcher who came to the team during that time got better. |
