SAN FRANCISCO — Atlanta Braves prospect Austin Riley is two full years younger than every player on the Giants roster.
There’s a significant age gap between Riley and the players defending him whenever he steps in the batter’s box and while four games is a small sample size, there might be a talent gap, too.
Riley looked more polished than hitters in both dugouts during this week’s series between the Giants and Braves.
With a go-ahead single in the top of the 13th inning, Riley collected his sixth hit and eighth RBI of the series as the left fielder led the Braves to a 5-4 win and a series victory over the Giants.
