Outfielder Jurickson Profar isn’t an elite hitter, but he’s the kind of hitter the Braves need. They’ve got power hitting covered with sluggers up and down the lineup. Profrar, who signed the Braves Thursday, provides the on-base boost they need by consistently putting bat-to-ball and drawing walks at a good rate. He’ll help the Braves generate offense when their all-or-nothing cycle is at its low point.
