The Atlanta Braves have been one of the best offenses in MLB this season.

They are loaded with elite talent as their front office has done a great job of acquiring talent.

Currently, the Braves are 43-26 and have the best record in the National League.

Also, their +77 run differential is the best in the NL.

One thing the Braves do very well is hit the ball for power.

They get guys on base and then drive them in at a high rate.

Atlanta has six players with 11+ home runs and four players with 40+ RBI.

You cannot have that type of production without hitting the ball hard.

According to MLB Now, the Braves have recorded 101 batted balls of at least 110 mph.

No other team in baseball has more than 50 hits of 110 mph.

The Braves are led by NL MVP favorite Ronald Acuna Jr.

He has been as advertised this year showing off his five-tool ability.

Acuna is hitting .331 with 15 home runs and 45 RBI, also he has 29 stolen bases on the season.

According to Statcast, the 25-year-old leads MLB in balls hit 95+ mph with 132.

Outside of Acuna, the Braves rely on Matt Olson, Austin Riley, Sean Murphy, and Ozzie Albies.

Each has hit 11+ home runs and is playing at All-Star levels.

This Braves team has everything you look for in a World Series contender.

If they continue to hit the ball at an elite rate they will be a difficult out in any postseason series.
