After being battered for what was nearly weeks on end, he\u2019s finding some consistency.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_l8wgvho6j\">In his last three starts, he has a 1.35 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP in 20 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_lz5u2qdp3\">He\u2019s been able to silence the noise around him for a time. It\u2019s a noise normally fueled with criticism of why he\u2019s in the Majors, and people exclaiming how nervous they are when it\u2019s his turn to take the mound.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_b2s35uwcs\">Those anxieties likely haven\u2019t fully subsided, but there is satisfaction following his time through the rotation instead of frustration. That\u2019s for the fans and likely Elder himself.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3jw6i6x6e\">\u201cThere\u2019s been a couple [starts] that\u2019s been just really bad on my part, and I think there\u2019s been some that the result\u2019s been really bad that I think, you know, bounce here, bounce there and instead of five, six, seven runs, it\u2019s six and three,\u201d Elder said a couple weeks back. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of what\u2019s killing me this year, the seven, eight runs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_dwsl2eaq6\">Between the good and the bad, there are lessons he can take into next season.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_zwrt6p9y2\">\u201cI think learning to pitch and just kind of keep making pitches regardless of how many runs you\u2019ve given up or what the score is,\u201d he said on Aug. 24.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_qr6nxybvf\">Keep in mind, he\u2019s been an All-Star before, so the ability to put on a strong showing has always been there. He just has to find the adjustments that allow him to do it long term.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_3630fedgo\">So far, this run has been better than the last one he went on earlier this season. In a seven-start stretch from April 23 to June 7, he posted a 2.98 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP over 42 1\/3 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_567n3n30m\">Until now, this had been his run between either this or last season. He could very well outdo it as the 2025 campaign comes to a close.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_1s2qpll0c\">The second half of the season has been marked by a few storylines involving turnarounds. Perhaps his time to join the narrative has arrived. Again, we don\u2019t know how long this good time will last for him, but he managed to fight his way to have another one.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_rr8wm30oh\">At the very least, a strong finish will leave a positive impression for when everyone reports to North Port in the Spring.<\/p>\n<h3 data-mm-id=\"_g9tkuvr9h\">More From Atlanta Braves on SI<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consistency is still key for him, but Bryce Elder is reminding the Atlanta Braves, and everyone else, why he&#8217;s been an All-Star in the past<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":88160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
