Austin Riley Having A Modest Spring
9 months agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley is having an underwhelming spring by his standards. The 26-year-old is slashing .257/.297/.429 with just two homers and four RBI in 35 AB. Though his spring has been subpar, Riley is still expected to be very important to fantasy managers' lineups, as he currently has a 22.3 ADP. The projections at ATC expect Riley to perform very similarly to his 2023 season with a .279/.349/.532 slash line with 38 HR and 103 RBI. Braves fans and fantasy managers shouldn't expect Riley's spring training results to continue in the regular season, but a couple more Austin Riley-like games to finish spring training would be a welcome sight. He is a surefire top-20 pick and one of the most dependable third-base options heading into 2024 fantasy drafts.
