The Gwinnett Stripers, formerly known as the Gwinnett Braves, are a professional Minor league baseball team based in unincorporated Gwinnett County, Georgia, within the Atlanta metropolitan area. The team plays in the South Division of the International League, and they are the Triple-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. They are located 35 miles (56 km) northeast of their parent club's stadium, Truist Park in unincorporated Cobb County—the second-shortest distance between a Triple-A team and its major league parent (behind only the Pacific Coast League's Tacoma Rainiers, based 26 miles (42 km) south of the Seattle Mariners). The 2019 season was the 55th season of the affiliation between Richmond/Gwinnett and the major league Braves, the longest-running affiliation in Triple-A.
