The Braves' pitching has struggled significantly in April, ranking 29th in MLB in fWAR, primarily due to an unusually high home run-to-fly ball ratio. Despite this, the staff's underlying numbers indicate they haven't pitched as poorly as their fWAR suggests. Factors like high-leverage situations and players no longer on the team impact their overall performance metrics, including FIP-. Nonetheless, the Braves are projected to have one of the best pitching staffs going forward, indicating potential for recovery if they can stabilize their HR/FB rates.
