The Braves are no longer pulling the ball with authority
Briefly

In 2025, the Atlanta Braves have transformed their offensive strategy, moving away from their previous aggressive style. They no longer swing fiercely at favorable pitches and have become less inclined to pull the ball. This change comes despite perceptions from fans, including a bewildered Uber driver who believed the team lacked strategic instruction. He attributed the Braves' struggles to overconfidence from a standout 2023 season, criticizing their approach to bunting and overall offensive strategy, which contradicts the current statistical evidence of their performance.
The Atlanta Braves have shifted from being the most aggressive team in baseball to adopting a highly restrained hitting approach, rarely pulling the ball and rarely swinging at favorable pitches.
Fans have expressed bewilderment over players making poor strategic decisions, attributing it to a false sense of confidence stemming from a successful 2023 season, but observable statistics tell a different story.
