SATURDAY MINORS FINAL 5/11/19: Gwinnett walkoff win; Riley homers again

[Enscheff]

For now I just assume Riley will homer everyday. Let me know when he doesn’t.

0 k
2 bb

Gotta love that with the power

What if Riley just continues to homer every single day for the rest of his career? I mean, I know the chances of that happening are only like 30%, but what if???

I get riley is insanely hot right now but otherwise im not sure why peoplr are surprised he is doing well.

Always a few years young for his level riley has always mashed. Him being one of the top prispects in baseball was always his future.

Riley homers again. Unreal. 1-2 with a homer and a walk now.

Homers now up 31% in AAA.

Riley...
.309/.386/.691
Babip = .304
Wrc+ = 165
Bb% = 11.1
K% = 19.6

 

[depley]

Last 16 games have been unreal, 12 homers, 6 doubles and 26 rbi

that is unreal hot

Power is fantastic but the bb/k rates are probabaly even more impressive considering rileys previous track record.

That babip means it ain’t luck right ? Anywhere from 280-320 pretty doable?

Scratched before Friday’s game. No word why.

Did I miss something? Where has Pache been.

Hanging out at Otis Nixon's house.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Saw on Twitter Pache has a sore back but should be back soon.

Yeah, that's a great sign that's he's not just getting lucky

His HR/FB rate is definitely lucky right now. That said he's hitting very well and his K% is the most encouraging thing for him right now

Power is fantastic but the bb/k rates are probabaly even more impressive considering rileys previous track record.

Yeah, that is what has me excited about his numbers this year. It was mainly his high strikeout rate and his tendency to struggle the first time seeing a new level that had people doubting him. If he's somehow changed something so that he can manage a K rate closer to 20% consistently he's a prospect on another level.

It's not luck. It's just not sustainable. If you hit a homerun 5 straight times it isn't luck. It's just not sustainable.

 

[CyYoung31]

When are we calling up Duvall?

 

[thewupk]

It's not luck. It's just not sustainable. If you hit a homerun 5 straight times it isn't luck. It's just not sustainable.

It means the same thing when it comes to projecting him.
