I met him in Raleigh NC at a bar after a game against the Durham bulls, the week before he got called up. He was with Kolby Allard and Bryse Wilson. Being a huge braves fan I talked his ear off and he bought me a fireball shot lol. Really cool guy and I hope he can find his success again in 2020
Ok so I am a travel ball player and one of my organizations coaches is very good friends with Austin Riley and a week after his debut he was in our practice facility giving autographs and what not He is very humble never forget where he came from kind of guy I asked him what the adrenaline was like in his debut and he said that if he was shot that you could still hear his heart pounding an hour later I am not a Braves fan but very much an Austin Riley fan
Durgan Zappala while that assessment was correct for his rookie year, she showed a lot of improvements in spring training when it came to sliders. Hopefully that will translate to the regular season
I played against him in high school and he hit a bomb against my team that still hasnt landed yet
Raindrop Walka should’ve thrown him any breaking pitch. Exclusively.
So happy for Riley! Love watching this guy and all of the Braves. Go Braves!!

Some serious pop in that bat. This guy's gonna be around for a while.
You know you are doing something right when Freeman gives you a applause
He's been waiting.. About dang time he arrived... With the braves relief doing so poorly they need all the help they can get
The one dislike is a phillies fan

I'm glad I got this guys Rookie card it's already worth a good amount and should go way up....
Riley has unbelievable pop in his bat. It just sounds different than some of the others
this guy is a rookie but built like a truck. For some reason when he homers, there are always men on base.
That reason is because the braves can get on base.
Last night was different. He got to 3rd base and a deep flyball got him home for the only 1 to ZERO over the Marlins
He's Very IMPRESSIVE.
Hot Take Alertt🔥🔥🔥We aint Had a Player like This since Chip Andruw N Da Boyz
Acuna?
I hope he can get back to this form in 2020
Evry time I watch this I think why spend money on Donaldson when you have your 3rd basemen of the future right here
Becuase he couldnt hit a slider if he knew it was coming Unfortunantly

Rookie of the year
I was at his first game and got a video of his first home run
Why did the sound change on the nationals clips?
This guy is insane
Looks like a young Mark Teixeira to me. Solid kid so far!
Roty ?
Austin 3:16 says I just hit another homer!
Lets go braves
Hopefully he doesnt do a Jeff Francoeur
I really hope that doesn’t happen
What do you mean ?
He was really good for the first year or two of his career and then just sucked for like 10 years and played on 10 teams
Very spot on comparison! I hope he isn’t another Francouer too bro
Troy Glaus?
👍🏼
cool
Much better than Acuna.
What? They're completely different players.

@@user-rx6km2de4m acuna is fast and a good fielder. riley is a good power hitter. Both are the future of the franchise.
I think Acuna is in shock ...thinking I'd better pick up my game !
UNCLE JED Take drugs much...🤦🏻♂️
He won’t last very long... he swings at a bunch of high pitches which is bad
Why does that mean he won't last long?
EVERYONE DOES
Hi Bc soon his athleticism will wear off
@@jacobgreen8099 what does athleticism have to do with swinging at high pitches?
