Austin Riley makes MLB Pipeline’s Top 3B prospects list

Austin Riley has been a bit of a polarizing figure amongst Braves fans. There is no question that he has significant power in his game, but questions surround his ability to stick at third as well as whether or not his struggles with strikeouts will prevent him from reaching his ceiling or even the majors.

The folks over at MLB Pipeline seem to at least think that he still has value as a third base prospect as they named him to their top 10 third base prospects list.

Given that there are some very real prospects on this list with Riley who was placed at #8, this is very encouraging.
