He fits in all kinds of places, and again, just even specifically the ability to hit left-handers as well.

So he just does a lot of things from the run tool to the contact to the lefties to playing good defense at a lot of positions.

So I feel like that's from John Sherholtz and Bobby Cox and the tradition of the Braves.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

They've already established a fan base with the work that they've done and the former Braves players to make the Braves a really popular team.
