    The Atlanta Braves New SECRET WEAPON - Antoan Richardson

    Atlanta Braves unveil a new secret weapon for 2026—can Antoan Richardson revolutionize their stagnant offense? After years as one of MLB's worst base-running teams, the Braves aim to ignite their lineup with Richardson’s arrival, a move that could end their reliance on home runs and increase run production through smarter, more aggressive base-running. Jake Mastroianni spotlights how Richardson elevated the New York Mets’ stolen base numbers, and asks if stars like Ronald Acuña Jr., Michael Harris, and Ozzie Albies can adopt the same strategies to become 30+ stolen base threats. He explores Baseball Savant’s base running values, discusses the impact of losing Ron Washington and Eric Young, and considers how improved athleticism at shortstop and smarter coaching might reshape Atlanta’s offensive identity. Will Richardson’s approach help the Braves score in new ways—and finally overcome postseason droughts?     Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
