As we reflect on the 2024 season for the Atlanta Braves, one player stands out for both his highs and lows: Raisel Iglesias. His journey through the season was a rollercoaster, showcasing moments of brilliance followed by unexpected struggles. After a stellar summer where he dominated the league, Iglesias faced a tough September that left fans questioning his consistency as a closer.

What do you think contributed to Iglesias' dramatic shift in performance? Was it simply the wear and tear of a long season, or do you believe there were deeper issues at play, such as pitch selection or command?

Looking ahead to 2025, Iglesias will be entering his age 35 season with one year left on his contract. Do you think he can reclaim his dominant form, or are we witnessing the beginning of a decline? With projections suggesting a potential drop in WAR, how should the Braves approach their bullpen strategy moving forward?

Additionally, considering the Braves' overall bullpen performance, which ranked highly in fWAR, how crucial is Iglesias to their success? Can they afford to rely on him as their primary closer, or should they explore other options to bolster their late-game strategy?

Let’s dive into the discussion! What are your bold predictions for Iglesias in 2025? Will he bounce back, or is it time for the Braves to start looking for a new closer? Share your thoughts and insights!
