The Atlanta Braves are going to give talented prospect Austin Riley a long look in Spring Training to try and determine if they can count on him at the big league level this year.
So far, the results have not been great for the soon-to-be 22-year-old. He has already had five at-bats in two games this spring and has struck out in all five at-bats.
The third base prospect and former first-round pick has walked and scored a run this spring, so it hasn’t been all bad. But that’s certainly not the impression Riley is hoping to have over the next month.
