How to integrate Austin Riley as a regular in the Braves lineup

Austin Riley is good at baseball. And for the past couple of weeks, he’s been particularly good at baseball. The man has gone on an otherworldly tear as of late, and has basically forced himself onto the Braves roster. He has done this by employing a simple but controversial strategy of trying to hit every baseball with such force that it travels as far as possible.

Given that Braves manager Brian Snitker likes to make sure that he mixes in less talented hitters at critical spots in the lineup, it’s really going to be interesting to see what the Braves will do with Riley once Ender Inciarte returns from his benchi— uh, I mean his back injury.
