It’s almost like the first day of school for baseball season.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast, beat reporter Justin Toscano and Jay Black discuss what we learned from the first official workout for pitchers and catchers.

Our crew will also dig into how Sean Murphy is handling his new staff, wh Ian Anderson went up to Wake Forest to try and fix what broke last year and how Kevin Pillar plans to make an impact as a non-roster invitee.

Plus, we will introduce you to the team’s new play-by-play announcer.

Follow the Braves Report podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts so you never miss an episode. You can also tell your smart speaker to “play the Braves Report podcast.”
