Profar, a switch-hitter, began lifting his front leg higher at the start of his swing. He said advice from former major leaguer Fernando Tatis and work with San Diego outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. last offseason helped convince him to make the change, which added power to his swing.

The Braves recently made a move to improve their outfield but still have a ways to go to build a World Series-caliber roster and it starts with starting pitching. Here are three names Alex Anthopoulos should consider.

The Braves have only made one notable move this offseason, signing Jurickson Profar to a three-year deal. The outfield was the single biggest area of the team that needed bolstering, but it’s not the only one.

AJ Minter spent eight tremendous years with the Atlanta Braves, winning a World Series in 2021 as a key member of their bullpen in The Battery. Minter's loss will be felt not just on the roster, but by the Braves fanbase as well,

The Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos indicated to reporters what his next move could be this offseason.

Profar finalized a $1 million deal with the Padres last Feb. 24, then hit .280 with 24 home runs in a long-awaited breakout at 31.

A new leg kick helped make Jurickson Profar a first-time MLB All-Star at 31 with the San Diego Padres in 2024.

Profar, a switch-hitting outfielder, will help the Atlanta Braves fill Ronald Acuña Jr.’s absence and could be their starting left fielder when Acuña returns.

Unfortunately, that pivot doesn't seem to be going all that well at the moment. Not only did Anthopoulos whiff on one of his top targets on Wednesday, but he let that target go to the team's fiercest rival. And even worse, he didn't seem to try all that hard to keep it from happening.

The Braves had a quiet winter before signing left fielder Jurickson Profar last week, a significant addition who immediately bolstered their lineup and gave them a formidable outfield when fully healthy.

The Atlanta Braves finally made a big splash and signed Jurickson Profar to sure up the outfield situation, as well as some infield depth if needed. Now, there is one area that has been weakened significantly since the end of the 2024 season.
