Spencer Strider is a big swing level of the 2025 season for Atlanta. There’s a world by which he returns simply as he left and instantly slots in early within the season as an ace stage starter once more and coasts at that stage into the playoffs. There’s one other world by which he’s by no means the identical after his harm and settles at a stage worse than his pre-injury stage, as a extra common starter or worse. He might additionally take a while to regain his former stage and begin of a bit shaky earlier than hitting his stride(r). His standing will play an enormous function within the Braves’ common season win whole and playoff success, because the upside is as excessive as anybody in baseball, as we’ve seen. You must hope that Chris Sale will be nice once more and that Spencer Schwellenbach can stabilize at his increased finish stage he flashed final season. We most likely ought to anticipate some regression from Reynaldo Lopez, however he can nonetheless be lots efficient. A completely-operational Strider could make that high three of the rotation pretty much as good as, and maybe higher than any in baseball, however with out that there’s a lot extra to query.
