ATLANTA, Georgia — He won the World Series and showed the world how well he can play. Well, now the world is noticing.
Southaven native Austin Riley has been with the Atlanta Braves for his third season in the Major League Baseball (MLB). At 24 years old, he has overcome challenges from games like when he suffered a partially torn LCL in his knee in 2019 and having a rough 2020 season, which led to people wondering if the Braves would trade him. But now that he is a part of a World Series champion team, his popularity with the fans has grown.
