The Atlanta Braves are gearing up for the 2025 season with the release of their Spring Training schedule and the exciting addition of right-handed pitcher Amos Willingham to their roster. Fans can look forward to 32 games as the team kicks off their preseason on February 22 with an away game against the Minnesota Twins. Among these games, the Braves will host 15 home contests at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida, while also hitting the road for 17 games.

In roster news, the Braves have bolstered their bullpen by signing Chattooga County, Georgia native Amos Willingham. The 26-year-old pitcher comes to Atlanta after being claimed off waivers from the Washington Nationals. His recent performances in Triple-A have showcased a solid earned run average (ERA) and commendable command, making him a valuable asset to the Braves’ pitching staff. Willingham’s journey began at Georgia Tech, where he made a significant impact during the 2019 season. With 18 appearances and a 5.19 ERA, he caught the attention of Major League scouts, leading to his selection by the Nationals in the 17th round of the 2019 MLB Draft. Since then, Willingham has gained experience at both the Major League and Triple-A levels. In 19 MLB appearances, he recorded a 7.11 ERA over 25 1/3 innings. However, his Triple-A statistics are more impressive, boasting a 3.69 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 68 1/3 innings across 55 appearances.

Willingham’s addition is expected to enhance the Braves’ bullpen depth as the organization prepares for the upcoming season. His prior experience pitching for the Chattooga Indians, along with his collegiate success at Georgia Tech, positions him as a promising addition to Atlanta’s roster.
