While the Atlanta Braves were already going to be very well represented at the 2022 MLB All-Star Game, one notable snub on the Braves roster was Austin Riley not getting included. Unfortunately for Riley despite having a really excellent season, two of the best players in the entire National League, Manny Machado and Nolan Arenado, also play third base and he ended up being an odd man out.
Austin has only bolstered the case that he was snubbed as his torrid play of late has upped his numbers to .282/.345/.568 with 26 home runs on the season.
