Pierce Johnson and the Braves in 2025

Despite the Braves’ struggles during the 2025 season, Pierce Johnson has remained a dependable and effective relief pitcher. Over 44 appearances, he’s posted a solid 2.41 ERA with 43 strikeouts in 41 innings pitched, while maintaining a strong 1.00 WHIP.

Johnson relies on his signature curveball, which is still one of the most effective breaking balls in the Majors. The Braves entered August well behind the division-leading Phillies, but Johnson will have plenty of opportunities to shine as the season moves into its final phase.

Johnson’s Path to Atlanta

The Chicago Cubs selected Johnson 43rd overall in the 2012 MLB draft. He was initially drafted out of high school in 2009 by the Tampa Bay Rays, but chose to play college baseball at Missouri State University instead.

Johnson showed early promise but struggled with inconsistency and injuries. After short stints with the Cubs and San Francisco Giants, he revitalized his career in 2019 with Japan’s Hanshin Tigers, where he posted a 1.38 ERA and earned All-Star honors.

He returned to Major League Baseball in 2020 with the San Diego Padres and established himself as a reliable bullpen arm, though injuries again limited his 2022 season. He signed with the Colorado Rockies in 2023 before being traded mid-season to the Atlanta Braves.

John Foy and the Atlanta Braves

Like the Braves, John Foy & Associates is a fixture of the Atlanta community, and our partnership with the Atlanta Braves means a great deal to us. Through features such as the Flex Cam, digital entertainment, and social media, we aim to give back to the great city of Atlanta.

Throughout the 2025 season, you may even have spotted our digital banners displayed behind home plate at Truist Park. For more than 25 years, our firm’s goal has been to assist injured accident victims and help them get compensation so they can recover from their accident.

Cases We Handle

It is rarely a good idea to try to handle a personal injury case on your own. Insurance companies aren’t always on your side, and you need a legal advocate to level the playing field. If you suffer an injury caused by an accident that wasn’t your fault, we might be able to assist. 

Reach out to us if you have been involved in a:

• Car accident
• Motorcycle Accident
• Truck Accident
• Dog Bite Incident
• Slip-and-Fall Incident
• Bus Accident
• Wrongful Death Case

Our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means you owe us nothing to get started on your case, and we only take our fees once we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf. If we don’t win, you don’t pay. 

When You’re Injured in an Accident, Get The Strong Arm™

A personal injury case can be stressful, and you might be unsure what to do next. You’re hurt, you’re not able to work, and it’s not clear if you’ll be able to pay your bills. The insurance company says they’re going to help, but what they are offering doesn’t seem like enough. 

If you are hurt in an accident, the first thing you need to do is get the medical attention you need. The next thing is to talk to an attorney. Our team can handle your claim, investigate your accident, assess your damages, and fight to get the compensation you deserve. 

At John Foy & Associates, our attorneys have over 350 years of combined experience standing up for the rights of injured accident victims in Georgia. Call today to schedule a free consultation and tell us about your accident.
