Braves starting pitcher JR Ritchie throws during the first inning against the Nationals on Thursday, April 23, 2026, in Washington. In his first major league start, Ritchie allowed a home run on his first pitch, but he settled down to allow two runs and five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks in seven innings.

What was perhaps the most important lesson JR Ritchie learned Thursday in Washington?<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, the biggest thing is that big-league hitters are really good,\u201d Ritchie said Tuesday in the clubhouse at Truist Park.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
