Charlotte Knights News Release
(UPTOWN CHARLOTTE, NC) - Legendary Atlanta Braves pitching coach, Leo Mazzone, will meet fans and sign autographs on Wednesday, June 19th as the Charlotte Knights host the Gwinnett Stripers (Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves) in a 7:04 p.m. game from Truist Field in Uptown Charlotte. Gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and Mazzone will be signing autographs for fans on the concourse when gates open and again after his first pitch.
Mazzone worked his way through Atlanta's system as a minor league pitching coach before embarking on a 16-year run as the pitching coach for the Braves from 1990-2005. Between 1991 and 1998, three of his pitchers won a total of six Cy Young Awards - Tom Glavine (1991 & 1998), Greg Maddux (1993-95) and John Smoltz (1996). Considered one of the greatest pitching coaches in Major League Baseball history, Mazzone helped guide the Braves to a World Series Championship in 1995. On July 30, 2022, Mazzone was inducted into the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame.
