It doesn't seem possible that a player who isn't even 27 yet is the longest-tenured Brave, but Ozzie Albies made his debut at just 20 on August 1, 2017, a week before Max Fried first debuted.

Albies, then the #2 prospect in the Braves organization, hit (literally) from the start. He's put up 19.3 fWAR, hit 10% better than league average, and provided solid defense.

In 2019, the Braves 2B signed a controversial long-term deal that will keep the switch-hitting All-Star with the team until at least 2025 (and likely through 2027), which means he'll continue to be at the top of this list for years to come.

Although he hasn't had the peaks of Riley or Acuña, he has consistently put up All-Star-level numbers and even filled in as a translator from time to time.

And with that, it's time to pour Larry a Crown!
