[FONT=&quot]“It’s fun when you see this, especially with a guy you drafted and developed,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “He comes up and you pull for him because he’s such an outstanding young man who is very talented. When they come up here and do well, it makes you feel really good.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Four years after the Braves took him in the first round (41st overall) of the 2015 MLB Draft and a little less than three weeks into his promising Major League career, Riley stands as a primary reason the Braves have maintained a strong bid to repeat as National League East champs.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Riley joins Rhys Hoskins , Carlos Delgado and Trevor Story as the only players to hit at least eight homers through the first 16 games of a career. Hoskins was the only member of this quartet to tally nine home runs within the span.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“The kid is really good,” Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson said. “He knows what he’s doing. He’s got a clear plan every time he’s up there. One of my favorite things about him is it’s really easy to talk about his at-bats. We’ve been able to talk to each other about at-bats, him helping me and me trying to help him about how the stuff is moving and what he sees and what he doesn’t see.”[/FONT]
