Player Outlook
Jarred Kelenic failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon him in Seattle, but he will get a chance to start anew in Atlanta in 2024. The sixth overall pick in 2018, Kelenic was once viewed as a top prospect, if not the top prospect in all of baseball. Most Mets fans bemoaned his departure from the organization in the 2018 Edwin Diaz trade. After a disastrous first couple MLB seasons, Kelenic finally enjoyed a taste of big-league success in 2023, though he also missed a large portion of the year due to a fractured left foot, the result of kicking a water cooler in frustration. His poor luck on balls in play reversed and Kelenic finished above league average by many offensive measures. It's important to remember that he is still just 24 years old, and even with his strikeout issues (30.7 K%), he's shown some good things at the plate and on the bases. It's best to project a platoon role, but there may be upside from there in regards to playing time. His landing spot in Atlanta makes a post-hype gamble all the more intriguing.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Socks 15th homer

    Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Blue Jays. The 25-year-old got Atlanta on the board in the second inning by belting a Yariel Rodriguez splitter over the fence in right-center field. Kelenic has a modest five-game hit streak going in which he's produced two homers and five RRBI, but on the season he's slashing just .234/.287/.401 with 15 long balls, seven steals, 44 RBI and 48 runs in 126 contests.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Seeing more action against righties

    Kelenic is starting in left field and batting seventh Friday against the Blue Jays. The 25-year-old saw his playing time drop in August, but he's now making his third straight start against a right-handed pitcher. Kelenic has gone 2-for-7 with a three-run homer in his past two games to bust out of an 0-for-13 slump.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Belts three-run homer

    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 5-2 win over Colorado on Wednesday. Kelenic capped a big four-run first inning for Atlanta with a three-run blast to right field. The long ball snapped a 23-game homerless stretch for the outfielder during which he batted just .216 and struck out 19 times over 51 at-bats. That poor stretch has been partly responsible for Kelenic losing work to Ramon Laureano -- Wednesday's start was just the second for Kelenic over Atlanta's past eight contests.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Losing work to Laureano

    Kelenic is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. Atlanta hasn't revealed that Kelenic is nursing an injury, but the lefty-hitting outfielder will nonetheless find himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (David Festa) for the second straight day. Manager Brian Snitker looks to be riding the hot bat in left field, and for the moment, that's Ramon Laureano, who is will stick in the lineup for the 19th time in 20 games after producing a 1.000 OPS dating back to Aug. 8. Kelenic, meanwhile, has provided a .543 OPS during that same timeframe.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Shielded from lefty Sunday

    Kelenic is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals. The lefty-hitting Kelenic will take a seat for the third time in four games with the opposition sending another southpaw (DJ Herz) to the hill. Ramon Laureano will step in for Kelenic in left field.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Sitting again versus lefty

    Kelenic is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Nationals. Kelenic was given a good number of starts versus left-handed pitching in the first half, but Atlanta has now faced seven southpaws since the All-Star break and Kelenic hasn't been in the lineup against any of then. Ramon Laureano will patrol left field Friday.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Sitting versus southpaw

    Kelenic is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies. The Phillies are going with left-hander Cristopher Sanchez in Thursday's series finale, so the left-handed hitting Kelenic will begin the contest on the bench. Adam Duvall is getting the call in left field for Atlanta.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Out versus lefty

    Kelenic isn't in Atlanta's lineup Wednesday against the Giants. Kelenic will take a seat on the bench Wednesday as Atlanta prepares to face a left-handed starter -- Robbie Ray -- for the second time in as many days. Jorge Soler, Michael Harris and Ramon Laureano will start from left to right across the outfield while Kelenic rests.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Sitting versus lefty again

    Kelenic is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco. The opposition is starting a southpaw versus Atlanta for the second day in a row, so the left-handed hitting Kelenic will again be out of the lineup. Jorge Soler, Ramon Laureano and Adam Duvall will patrol the outfield.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Knocks homer in loss

    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to Milwaukee. Kelenic is 4-for-19 (.211) with two extra-base hits since the start of August. The outfielder has at least maintained steady playing time in center field following Atlanta's trade for Jorge Soler, but Kelenic has hit no higher than eighth over the last seven games. Atlanta hasn't faced a southpaw in that stretch either, so it's unclear if Kelenic is at risk of losing out on at-bats to Ramon Laureano. In any case, Kelenic's run as a lineup regular could come to a close once Michael Harris (hamstring) completes the rehab assignment he started Tuesday. For the season, Kelenic is sporting a .234/.288/.407 slash line with 13 homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs scored and six stolen bases over 366 plate appearances.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Loses hold of leadoff gig

    Kelenic will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers. Kelenic had occupied the leadoff spot in each of his last 38 starts, and while he supplied a decent amount of pop (.421 slugging percentage) and speed (five stolen bases in six attempts) during that stretch, he got on base at a meager .281 clip and struck out in 27.4 percent of his plate appearances. On Tuesday, manager Brian Snitker told David O'Brien of The Athletic that trade-deadline pickup Jorge Soler would serve as Atlanta's primary leadoff man moving forward, resulting in Kelenic dropping in the batting order. The No. 8 spot isn't ideal from a run-producing or run-scoring standpoint, but Kelenic could still hold some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues if he continues to display the power/speed combo he showcased during his run as the club's leadoff man.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Snaps slump Tuesday

    Kelenic went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two walks and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Brewers. Kelenic entered Tuesday on an 0-for-17 skid over his last four games. He broke out in a big way with his fourth-inning solo shot, earning his first multi-hit effort since July 9. The outfielder is batting just .143 in July, a slump that has him at a .239/.293/.411 slash line for the year after playing well through June. He's added 12 homers, 33 RBI, 36 runs scored, 14 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases through 92 contests.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Clubs 11th homer

    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. The third-inning shot off Miles Mikolas was Kelenic's 11th long ball of the season, and he appears to be shaking off the slump he was mired in prior to the All-Star break. The 25-year-old outfielder went 0-for-22 in the six games before the break, but after ripping a triple in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader, he's collected extra-base hits in consecutive games for the first time since July 6-7.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Homers, swipes bag in win

    Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Phillies. Kelenic was one of three Atlanta hitters to go deep off rookie Michael Mercado in the second inning. The 24-year-old continues to be a revelation for Atlanta since it started giving him regular playing time. Kelenic hit his 10th home run of the season, and all have come in his last 49 games. He's hitting .277/.313/.500 with 25 RBI and four stolen bases in that span, and he should continue hitting leadoff due to Ronald Acuna (knee) being out for the season.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Excellent in doubleheader

    Kelenic went 6-for-9 with a home run, four RBI and one stolen base over both games of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals. Kelenic knocked in half of Atlanta's runs in the matinee games, and he added an RBI single for their lone run in the nightcap. The outfielder has enjoyed a strong June, going 25-for-78 (.321) with five homers, 13 RBI and three steals over 21 contests this month. He's up to a .282/.321/.459 slash line with eight long balls, 25 RBI, three steals, 24 runs scored and 11 doubles through 65 games on the year.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Swats seventh homer

    Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Yankees. He took Nestor Cortes deep for a solo shot in the third inning before adding a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Kelenic extended his hitting streak to 10 games with the blast, and over that stretch he's slashing .317/.356/.585 with three of his seven homers on the season.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Swipes bag Monday

    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's win over the Tigers. The 24-year-old is thriving as Atlanta's leadoff hitter. Kelenic has a five-game hitting streak going in which he's batting .333 (7-for-21). Since Ronald Acuna (knee) was lost for the season May 26, Kelenic has stepped up in an everyday role, slashing .302/.338/.540 with three home runs, two steals, nine runs and nine RBI in 19 contests.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Enjoys big game from leadoff spot

    Kelenic went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-2 victory versus the Rays. Kelenic batted out of the leadoff spot for the first time this season while also making his first start in center field as a result of Michael Harris (hamstring) landing on the injured list. Given his performance Saturday, Kelenic could lead off regularly against right-handers for as long as Harris is out. The lefty batter recorded his fourth three-hit effort of the campaign and gave Atlanta its first lead with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. Kelenic has accumulated a .269/.313/.425 slash line overall this season with five homers, 17 RBI, 19 runs and a stolen base.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Moves up to leadoff spot

    Kelenic will start in center field and bat leadoff in Saturday's game versus the Rays. With Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the shelf, Atlanta has lost its last two leadoff hitters against right-handed pitching. Kelenic will get the next crack at the job, which is quite a promotion given that he hadn't previously batted higher than seventh this season. This is also his first start of the season in center field.

  • Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Blasts three-run homer

    Kelenic went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Nationals. Kelenic's ninth-inning three-run blast cut the deficit to three and provided Atlanta with their final runs of the afternoon. The homer was a good sign for Kelenic, who appears to be fine after having missed a couple of games earlier in the week with a wrist injury. It was the seventh multi-hit game of the season for Kelenic, who is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with three doubles, a triple, a homer and five RBI over his last nine games.
