The Braves missing out on Tatsuya Imai means all eyes are now on JR Ritchie to step up as Atlanta’s next big pitching hope. With the team holding off on expensive free agents, Ritchie’s breakout 2025 season and impressive 2.64 ERA have put him in the spotlight for a possible 2026 rotation spot. The pressure is real—if he stays healthy and keeps dominating, he could be the homegrown answer the Braves need. How do you feel about the team betting on a prospect over a proven arm? Is this the right move for Atlanta’s future? #Sports #Baseball #Braves
