Talking Chop's Minor League Player of the Week: Austin Riley

Austin Riley has been on fire for the GCL Braves of late, showing why the Braves selected him 41st overall.

For this week's installment of Talking Chop's Minor League Player of the Week, we had several strong candidates. Isranel Wilson, KD Kang, Todd Cunningham, Tyrell Jenkins, Greg Ross, Jose Peraza, and Stephen Gaylor all had excellent showings in the last week or so and all deserve recognition for their efforts. However, this week our minor league player of the week is Austin Riley of the GCL Braves. Drafted with the 41st pick in the 2015 draft, Austin one of those super athletic kids who could realistically be successful on the mound or in the field.
