Austin Riley powers Braves past Pirates
by Chris Schommer | Braves Correspondent | Sat, Jun 29th 8:53am EDT
Austin Riley went 1-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in the Braves' 6-1 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's win, marking his ninth homer of the season. Despite a modest .252 batting average this year, Riley's power numbers remain a bright spot. However, his high strikeout rate of .235 and relatively low walk rate of .084 suggest some volatility in his performance. Fantasy managers should value Riley for his ability to drive in runs and score, but be wary of potential slumps due to his inconsistency at the plate. His current wOBA of .326 indicates he's producing at a decent clip, making him a solid option in most fantasy formats, especially in leagues that value power hitting.
