He struggled with Atlanta early this season and then spent most of the year in Triple-A, where the struggles of the former top 10 prospect went through.
Luke Williams spends most of the year with Atlanta as the 26th man of the team, mainly as a Pinch runner, defensive replacement and an effective position player world. He came to Atlanta in 2023 and appeared in the big competitions with the team in every season. He posted a 0 WRC+last season.
Sandy Leon made a few cameies with the Braves after 2024 to spent on Triple-A. The old big league-back-up catcher is well prepared by the organization and did Homer with Atlanta in his limited time.
Right -handed pitchers Alexis Diaz and Dane Dunning have both joined Atlanta as an exemption. Diaz had a success as a closer in his career and Dunning started more than 100 games since debuting in 2020. Both struggled in limited performances with Atlanta.
