Spencer Strider returns for the Braves: What did we learn from his first start of 2025?

After 376 days, the most dominant starting pitcher in MLB history took the mound once again. Spencer Strider, known for his powerful fastball, made his comeback for the Atlanta Braves against the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite showing some rust and allowing two runs, Strider managed to strike out five batters in five innings of work. His return to the field was highly anticipated after undergoing elbow surgery last year.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, Strider had established himself as one of the best strikeout artists in the game, with a career-high 13.5 strikeouts per nine innings. With his blazing fastball and devastating slider, he was poised to compete for the NL Cy Young award in 2024 before his injury.

During his season debut, Strider showcased his signature pitching style by striking out the first batter, Bo Bichette, in just three pitches. Despite a slight dip in fastball velocity as the game progressed, Strider’s average of 96.9 mph in the first inning was a positive sign of his potential.

While Strider may need time to fully regain his form, his return to the mound is a promising development for the Braves. His performance against the Blue Jays highlighted both his strengths and areas for improvement, especially in maintaining his fastball velocity throughout the game.

Looking ahead, Strider’s comeback will be crucial for the Braves as they aim to overcome their early season struggles. With key players like Reynaldo López and Ronald Acuña Jr. dealing with injuries, Strider’s presence on the pitching staff is more important than ever.
