Former top prospect looks forward to fresh start after disappointing stint with Mariners

Jarred Kelenic, a former top prospect for the Seattle Mariners, has been traded to the Atlanta Braves and is expected to take over as left fielder.
Kelenic had a promising start to his 2023 season with the Mariners, but a foot injury and subsequent slump led to a disappointing end.
Despite his struggles, Kelenic remains optimistic about his future with the Braves, expressing excitement about joining a team with a strong winning history.
The Braves have high hopes for Kelenic, believing that their coaching and analytics staff can help him reach his potential.
