Answer: Dan Uggla

Dan Uggla began his MLB career with the Florida Marlins in 2006 at the age of 26. He made his way to the Atlanta Braves in 2011. 

Uggla did not have the most success in a Braves uniform, only hitting .209 across his 4 seasons with Atlanta. However, he was an all-star in 2012 and put on a hitting clinic during a 33-game hitting streak in that season. He also launched 36 homers for the Braves in 2011.
