Can Marcell Ozuna and the Atlanta Braves make another deep run?

Last year, the Atlanta Braves made it to within one game of reaching the World Series. Hopefully, they can make that next step and make a run at a championship.

Marcell Ozuna having a big season would be instrumental in any championship run for the Atlanta Braves in 2021.

Personally, I tend to think the projections are close to what I would project for Marcell Ozuna in 2021. I would probably project Ozuna to be a .285-.290 hitter with 35+ HRs and 210 runs plus RBIs.

If Ozuna can put together a 130-140 wrc+ and be a 4+ fWAR player, the Atlanta Braves would run out another deep lineup.

This type of season would also benefit fantasy baseball players and possibly help them reach a fantasy championship. Most fantasy baseball rankings have Marcell Ozuna as a top 50 fantasy asset.

Bringing Marcell Ozuna back was big for the Atlanta Braves. Now they need Ozuna to be a strong bat in the middle of the lineup.

Next. Farm System Remains at Top ... for now. dark

If Marcell Ozuna can produce another elite season at the plate in 2021, the Atlanta Braves have the talent to make a deep run in October.
