In retort though now that I think about it, people said the same thing about Kyle Wright. The Braves didn't give up on him, so I think they will give Ian every chance.

Not the same thing at all.
Wright never had a spot before he got his. Ian got his spot, lost it, and then couldn't earn it back this spring. So much so in fact that the Braves are turning to two dudes who have never thrown a pitch in MLB for their 5th spot before they turn to him.
Also, Wright's issue was always command. Ian's issue is that he has two pitches, one is easier to fix/improve than the other.

Seems like a different issue though. Wright has always had nasty stuff but never had the confidence to throw it.
Ian can't throw strikes consistently and I believe either hitters have figured him out or his 2021 shoulder injury was more significant than we know.
