The Braves were able to salvage their series against the Mets on Sunday, earning a 4-3 victory over New York. The game winning hit came of the bat of Jurickson Profar, who has been the second hottest Braves over the past month behind Michael Harris. In fact, Profar has the 8th best wRC+ mark in all of baseball in August, a really encouraging development for Profar and the Braves.
While he may not produce at this level, if he can be an above average hitter going into 2026, many of his offensive qualities
can help the Braves lineup. As a result, more consistency will result, and thus more wins as well.
