In two starts this season, Atlanta Braves right-handed starter, Spencer Schwellenbach, has been almost unhittable.

Schwellenbach, who turns 25 in May, has yielded three hits in those two starts, covering 14 innings. Three.

Schwellenbach has not yielded a run. Not one. Earned or un-earned.

Schwellenbach has walked one, and struck out 14.

Those are statistics from which a Cy Young Award winning season is built.

Schwellenbach’s blazing start to the new season is a dream scenario for Braves manager, Brian Snitker.

The Braves began the season with an unfamiliar 0-7 start.

Now, Schwellenbach, and his starting pitching colleagues are being called up to right the rocky ship.

Snitker can rest his bullpen on days Schwellenbach pitches, which is a luxury in today’s Major League Baseball.

In the past few years, starting pitches have been turning in shorter outings, which taxes and puts extra pressure on the pen.

Schwellenbach’s start also helps reduce some of the sting to the Braves pitching staff, with the departure of starter Max Fried to the New York Yankees, and to losing right-handed starter, Reynaldo Lopez. Lopez is on the Braves Injured List, after requiring arthroscopic shoulder surgery earlier this month.

Schwellenbach’s next start is scheduled for April 10, at home in Atlanta. He could square off against the Philadelphia Phillies, and starter Jesus Lazardo
