Farm Report: Atlanta prospect Austin Riley is raking

Atlanta Braves prospect Austin Riley has been on a vicious tear for Triple-A Gwinnett, homering seven times over his last nine games, including three multi-homer performances. Riley is now slashing .305/.378/.664 for the year with a dozen home runs, 10 doubles and 32 RBIs. He leads the International League in runs (28), total bases (85) and RBIs, plus he ranks third in slugging. So a case can be made that Riley is ready.

It might seem as if we've been hyping Riley over multiple seasons (because we have), but he's still only 22 years old.
