Bragan cites speed and pitching as Braves shift focus
Braves manager Bobby Bragan says modern baseball favors speed and pitching as parks grow larger. He notes Matthews and Bolling aging, trades bring in young talent like Felix Millan and Rico Carty, and he believes St Louis, Cincinnati, and the Dodgers illustrate the balance of speed and depth. The Braves sit 23-30 on pace for 196 homers but trail the Giants.
