The 2021 Atlanta Braves season was the 151st season of the Atlanta Braves franchise, the 56th season in Atlanta, and the Braves' 5th season at Truist Park. The Braves were managed by Brian Snitker, in his 6th season as the team's manager. The Braves clinched their fourth consecutive National League East title. They defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLDS and faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS for the second straight year. They defeated the Dodgers in six games to reach the World Series for the first time since 1999. They would go on to defeat the Houston Astros in six games, winning their first World Series since 1995, their second since moving to Atlanta, and their fourth in franchise history. Jorge Soler won the Most Valuable Player award in the World Series.

Regular season

The 2021 season wasn't a smooth sailing road for the Atlanta Braves. The Braves started off 0-4 and ended April with a 12–14 record. At the All-Star Break they were 44–45. [5] After the All-Star Break in August they started ramping it up and went 18–8. On August 8, they climbed over .500 for the first time, at 57–56, and on Aug 15. they took over first place in the NL East, ending up winning the NL East with a 88–73 record. [5]

The team's turnaround began after July 10 when Ronald Acuña Jr. suffered a season ending injury and the trade deadline approached. [6] After the Braves' star outfielder got injured, GM Alex Anthopoulos remade his outfield by bringing in veterans Adam Duvall, Joc Pederson, Eddie Rosario, and Jorge Soler. They made a huge impact on the team with Duvall finishing the season with a National League-leading 113 RBIs (45 with the Braves); Pederson hit a game-winning home run in the NLDS against the Brewers; Rosario was the NLCS MVP; Soler was the World Series MVP. [6]

Notes

  1. ↑ Atlanta only played 161 games because the scheduled game against the Colorado Rockies on September 16 was cancelled due to weather, and no make-up game took place since the result would have had very little effect on the standings.
