AJ Smith-Shawver looks to continue a good start to spring on the mound against the Yankees’ first team lineup. After a couple of home runs hurt him in his first outing, AJ looked very strong, striking out 5 in 2.2 innings in his second appearance, featuring his changeup heavily.
The Braves are only starting Michael Harris, Sean Murphy, and Jarred Kelenic of their regular starters. Top prospect Nacho Alvarez is back in the lineup and batting fifth, as he has had a promising spring.
They will face one of New York’s back-end big-league starters in Clarke Schmidt, so a healthy challenge, but nothing too difficult. AJ will face a big test today, as the Yankees are sending out most of their projected regular season lineup, including Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
