The Atlanta Braves have hired Fredi González as their new third base coach, replacing Matt Tuiasosopo who will take on the role of minor league infield coordinator. Previously, González managed the Braves from 2011 to 2016, achieving a .512 win percentage and leading the team to playoffs in back-to-back years. His hire comes amid concerns over base running mistakes this season, which might have influenced the decision as the team aims to improve their performance on the field. González's familiarity with manager Brian Snitker, who significantly reshaped the team, is also a key factor.
