I'd like to remind the community that he was my breakout pick last year! :)

Riley 1-2
Glad to see him back in the lineup and to get a hit
.34. That’s insane. The guy has been just outstanding since day 1 of his career.
Riley 2-3, hr

Bryse Wilson would be a top 2 pitching prospect in most systems yet he's rarely talked about for the Braves.

Riley hit a breaking ball out. Wasn’t even really a bad pitch, down in the zone and might’ve even been a ball. No doubter.

Where are the Riley naysayers tonight?
Riley has mashed for about a solid year now.

I’m still pretty skeptical on Riley because of the at bat he just had. Swung through three fastballs and was late on every one. I’ve seen three of his five homers this year, and all three were on offspeed pitches.
All the talk about long swing, bat speed, etc is fine. I’m not sure what it is, but he definitely is late to velocity more often than I’m comfortable with before completely buying in.

Seriously...why is Riley spinning his wheels in AA...promote him.
Gohara is a power pitcher overcoming a leg injury. Not a good combination. If that ankle isn't 100% then it could easily rob him of velocity. I hope it's nothing worse than that.

Also gotta remember Gohara had a rough offseason with his dad passing. Could be a lost year for the big guy.
