Braves’ Hidden Gem Shines at Shortstop | MLB News
Description
The Braves’ hidden gem from a quiet trade is exploding: Jim Jarvis, acquired last year in a deal that sent Rafael Montero to Detroit, is now tearing it up in the majors. After a breakout game against the Pirates — three hits, a homer, two RBIs — Jarvis is proving he’s more than just a prospect. His newfound confidence, sparked by a simple posture tweak, paired with his calm demeanor and elite defense, is making him a serious shortstop candidate. With a .292 average and .778 OPS since returning on July 2nd, and manager Walt Weiss praising his poise, Jarvis could reshape the Braves’ infield and outfield depth — giving Dubón more flexibility while carving out a long-term role for himself.
