While it’s not the ending the team or fans wanted, they witnessed plenty of history this year. Ronald Acuna Jr. became the first player in Major League Baseball history to record at least 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases in a season.
Matt Olson broke Andruw Jones’ franchise record for most home runs in a single season and led the majors in the category. Spencer Strider set a single-season strikeout record with more than 277 strikeouts.
The team combined for 307 home runs in a season to match the MLB record set in 2019 by the Minnesota Twins.
Now, Atlanta turns to the offseason until spring training opens in February and the 2024 season begins on the road back in Philadelphia.
