Austin Riley Gets On Base Five Times
4 years agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley had only one hit but he reached base five times during the club's 8-7 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. The 24-year-old walked four times against Phillies pitchers who issued 10 free passes in the 12-inning game. Riley is becoming a must-have player in all fantasy formats but especially in on-base leagues. He has a walk rate of 12% through his first 33 games of the season and has seen his rate increase each of the past two seasons. There is still some untapped potential with Riley who has yet to unleash his raw power this season with just three home runs. Now is the time to invest in the young hitter.
