The Braves got to dust off their best two starters, while their hitters had a chance to impress the most famous hitting consultant in the game.

In this episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Braves Report podcast from CoolToday Park in North Port Florida, AJC beat reporter Justin Toscano and Jay Black discuss what they saw from the Grapefruit League debuts of Max Fried and Spencer Strider.

Plus, you’ll hear a conversation from batting practice with Chipper Jones, who arrived at spring training for the first time in two years to help the Braves' bats. 

Chipper will explain why he thinks Michael Harris is a “superstar," where the rest of the team stands and what he thinks of MLB’s new rules.
