Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Atlanta Braves.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Braves went in with high expectations, and although they made the playoffs, they were swept in the opening round by the San Diego Padres.

There was one elevation and one new entrant.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a change based on the new structure:

1. Hank Aaron

2. Warren Spahn

3. Kid Nichols

4. Eddie Mathews

5. Greg Maddux

 

You can find the entire list here.

Ronald Acuna Jr. was injured a good chunk of the year, and remains at #28.

Ozzie Albies moved up three spots to #42.

Jeff Blauser returns to the list at #47 with the new algorithm.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

47. Jeff Blauser

A former first round pick, Jeff Blauser played 11 seasons with the Atlanta Braves where he was considered one of the better hitting Shortstops in the National League.  Blauser did suffer numerous injuries that often kept him off the diamond but he did have a pair of 160 Hits seasons, both of which would see him named an All-Star.  He was not always considered the among the better defensive infielders of his time but his above average bat for a National League Shortstop made him valuable.
