Dubón’s Clutch Power in Cleanup | Atlanta Braves News

The Braves are shaking up tradition by sticking Mauricio Dubón in the cleanup spot—yes, the 173-pound contact artist who’s crushing clutch at-bats with runners on base. Manager Walt Weiss joked he needs to eat more, but the real story is Dubón’s elite contact rate and RBI prowess in high-leverage moments. With power hitters like Olson and Harris II flanking him, Dubón’s role isn’t about homers—it’s about driving runs when it matters most. His recent gem? An RBI single off a curveball that barely missed being a ball. From shortstop to cleanup, Dubón’s proving his value in ways no one saw coming.
