We have finally reached the end of 2022, and what a year it’s been. From the lockout, which delayed the 2022 season, to the departure of Freddie Freeman, a 101-win Atlanta Braves team, and a Philadelphia Phillies World Series appearance, it has easily been one of the most unpredictable years in baseball.
Although it did not end in a trip to the Fall Classic, the Braves did win their fifth consecutive NL East title in 2022, and got to showcase some powerhouse rookies along the way. Michael Harris II, Vaughn Grissom, Bryce Elder, Freddy Tarnok, and William Woods each made their Major League debut in 2022.
Here’s to 2023, and (hopefully) a sixth straight division title.
