Austin Riley getting called up by braves

[msstate7]

The 22-year-old, state signee that signed with the braves is killing it in AAA, .299/.377/.686. He leads the international league in hrs (15) and RBIs (39). His iso is .382. He's walking at 11.1% and striking at out 19.1%. His babip is .286, so little unlucky there. His hr/fly ball is 27.8%, so little lucky there. He will most likely play LF. I'm really excited to see him, but he has been a slow starter at every new level so may take time

Must just be a cup of coffee. What position is he going to play? Donaldson seems pretty cemented in at 3rd long term, outfield seems pretty crowded too.

LF

Ender has a back issue. Ender has been pretty terrible this year too (.623 ops and even negative defender according to fangraphs)

Got the call last night after game in Buffalo.
Also Keegan James first cousin.

And the bombs he is hitting are going 500 feet.

I luckily threw a waiver flier on him Sunday. Didn’t think the stash would come so soon...I was anticipating a Post AllStar appearance......but Ender can’t hold this guy back. It’s over for him as a starter. Great defender..+wheels....no pop, ****** plate discipline, especially this year.

This kid is Hunter Renfroeish. Let him work it out here. He has nothing left to prove.

Riley goes deep

That was so awesome.

And he Homers in the 4th.

As he was batting, the announcers were saying the Braves can't sell his jersey until the 5th inning, because a big leaguer has to have an official appearance before a team can sell his merch. Hopefully they are printing up some jerseys in the 4th...
