Braves cap off pathetic year with a participation trophy

Charlie Morton's appearance on Sunday established a Major League Baseball record when he became the 71st player to wear an Atlanta uniform this season. The Braves surpassed the previous mark of 70 players set by Miami last year, and Baltimore matched earlier this season. Atlanta deployed 27 position players, and 46 pitchers throughout the campaign.

The franchise used 19 different starting pitchers, breaking team records amid rotation injuries, and bullpen struggles. Aaron Bummer, and Austin Cox counted as starters after serving as openers during games. Five Braves pitchers reached 123 innings in 2024 compared with two this year.

The team became the first organization to allow two batters to hit four home runs against them in separate games during one season.
