The Atlanta Braves just continue to punish baseballs and all of their opponents.
They have the best record in baseball and will easily surpass 100 wins for the season.
One of the many reasons for their success has been hitting the long ball.
The Braves have a bunch of elite hitters and all of them can hit home runs.
On Monday, they have a doubleheader in Philadelphia against the Phillies.
It was also the day the Braves became a part of MLB history.
According to MLB Network, the Braves became the eighth team ever to have nine different players hit 15+ home runs.

It is rare to see a team hit the ball with this much power.
The most notable hitters in their lineup are Ronald Acuna Jr., Matt Olson, and Austin Riley.
Those three lead the team in home runs.
Olson leads the NL with 48 home runs, while Acuna has 36 and Riley has 34.
It is within the realm of possibility that the Braves have three players hit 40+ homers.
The Braves did not get to a 94-49 record by accident.
No pitching staff has been able to slow them down.
That is what makes them so dangerous in the playoffs.
They lead baseball in runs scored with 836 and have a run differential on the year of +240.
Having to beat them in a five or seven-game playoff series will be no easy task.
The Braves last won the World Series in 2021.
Yet, they seemed destined to head back to the Fall Classic this year.
