The Atlanta Braves offense was really good in the 2023 regular season. Part of the reason why they were so good this year is because they scored 146 first-inning runs, which is the second-most in MLB history since 1961, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Atlanta scored a first-inning run 65 times this year, accounting for 40% of their games. They scored at least four runs in the first inning 14 times in 2023, which is tied for the second-most in the modern era, trailing only the 1950 Boston Red Sox, who did it 16 times. The Braves finished with the highest team slugging percentage in MLB history this year, and their 75 first-inning barrels are the most by any team in any inning during the Statcast era (since 2015). The Philadelphia Phillies pitchers, who will face Atlanta in the National League Division Series, will have an incredibly tough challenge on their hands.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
