The Rise and Fall of Mike Foltynewicz: A Braves Story

What happened to Mike Foltynewicz? In this video, I go over the whole story about "Folty" and how he rose to be an All-Star in 2018 only to fall so fast less than 2 years later. Why did Mike Foltynewicz go to the minors? Did Mike Foltynewicz get traded? All these questions will be answered in this video about the Atlanta Braves flamethrower.

Sweet! Been looking forward to this one

Dude is a thrower not a pitcher.

Crazy how that game 5 ended his career

[@BPoweredLove]

Is his career over? I don't know the guy, but he's selling his big house here in Phoenix. Bro is trying to get $6m for it.

Drug use ended his career

this aged like wine

well made video!

[@xperrones17]

Funny fact, the braves took another 1st inning beating by the dodgers

[@raybaker8653]

so why did his velocity plummet?

[@jacobredmond4127]

I’m not sure why his fastball dropped from 100 to 96-97 but in the beginning of 2020 he was throwing 90. His wife says he was not able to workout and he lost a lot of weight. Which I believe.

@@jacobredmond4127 i think part of it too could be being a starter who had some injuries early on, he dialed it back slightly for longevity

[@jacobredmond4127]

@@thefirstechlon5522 well as a fireballer he most likely had control issues. He probably just had to throw more strikes.

@@jacobredmond4127 I feel like if he joined the Dodgers, they would work there magic and turn him into a star. I mean he shown that he could be good in 2018

[@jacobredmond4127]

@@fatdingo8251 I’d say a better fit would be the rays. Look how they helped Glasnow reach his potential and Morton have a career resurgence. When I heard Kluber was going to the rays. I thought it was a great move because of how good he used to be and how good the rays pitching coaching is. I think that would be the best fit for Folty if he is ever going to get back into baseball. I just hope he can get there in the first place. But yeah dodgers would have been good too

welcome to the rangers....hopefully he figures it out here

[@tlew7032]

He is a nut job it’s not the arm it’s the brain

[@ethantomlinson3209]

*dramatic voice* “he did not, in fact, figure it out.”

[@gsup3435]

Yips, you’d be surprised how many guys get them that don’t report em
