Of the eight youngest pitchers to start a game in the majors this season, five were Braves.
Four of those young starters won their major league debut — matching a feat that’s only occurred once in 110 seasons.
Combined Bryse Wilson, Kolby Allard, Luiz Gohora, Mike Soroka and Touki Toussaint only pitched for 89-1/3 innings, but were key to the Braves reaching the postseason for the first time since 2013.
One of the rotation highlights was Mike Foltynewicz. He set career highs in wins (13), starts (31), innings (183.0 IP), ERA (2.85) and strikeouts (202). Braves rookie Sean Newcomb made a career-most 30 starts and went 12-9 with a 3.91 ERA.
A few more young arms remain in the minors, though a few made appearances in the big league roster. Which of these contributors would you have return in 2019? Pick yea or nay.
