The Braves captured the National League East with a remarkable season that was imagined by few. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution asked several players to share their favorite moments from the season. Today, All-Star pitcher Mike Foltynewicz shares his thoughts on what made the 2018 season so special.  

“Just the whole season has been fun. This has been my first winning season.”

“To be able to go to the All-Star game and do that was a big moment, proud moment of my life. But just being with this team every single day, being able to win and win the division like we had in our plans the last few years.”

“Clinching was the biggest thing cause all our work paid off. We did it, and we have a lot more work left to do.”
