Question of the Day, Presented by Wooter Apparel: Atlanta Braves from Marietta

October 18, 2019
This trivia segment asks which current Atlanta Braves player attended nearby Marietta High School in Georgia.

The Atlanta Braves have a hometown connection through a player who grew up just ten miles from their stadium. Marietta High School in Georgia produced this talented infielder who graduated in 2012 before attending Vanderbilt University.

Dansby Swanson, the former number one overall pick, emerged from Marietta's baseball program and eventually found his way to the Braves organization. His proximity to the team he now plays for makes his story particularly meaningful for local fans and aspiring athletes in the metro Atlanta area.
