The Atlanta Braves continue to be one of the most impressive teams in baseball.
Each season they seem to be competitive and one of the favorites to win the National League.
They are one of the most aggressive teams during free agency and when making trades.
Over the past few offseasons they have acquired first baseman Matt Olson and catcher Sean Murphy.
Both have been key cogs in their lineup this season.
Not to mention they have the favorite for NL MVP in Ronald Acuna Jr.
This Braves team not only hits the ball well, but they hit it far.
According to MLB Stats, the Braves have hit 17 home runs this year that have traveled 450+ feet.

Statcast even has the data to back up the Braves’ impressive hitting.
Acuna leads MLB in average home run distance with 434 feet.
Also, he is second in MLB in average exit velocity with 94.9 mph.
It is not hard to see why he is playing like one of the best in the game this year.
Olson leads the National League in home runs with 25 and he is tied with Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead.
His average home run distance is an impressive 415 feet.
Opposing pitchers have no time to rest when facing this lineup.
Atlanta has seven hitters with 12 or more home runs this season.
No other team can say that.
The Braves are averaging 5.56 runs per game, which is the most in the NL.
When they are clicking at the plate no pitching staff can slow them down.
