The Braves announced Thursday that outfielder Jason Heyward, first baseman Freddie Freeman, pitcher Cory Gearrin and new hitting coach Greg Walker will be at the restaurant on Market Street for a lunchtime question-and-answer session and to sign autographs for local fans.
Gearrin is a former Rhea County High School standout who made his major league debut last season, and he along with Freeman and Heyward are two of the Braves' top young stars.
In October, Walker was named as the new hitting coach in Atlanta after working in the same role for the Chicago White Sox for nine seasons.
