Austin Riley enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2021 hitting .303/.367/.531 with 33 home runs and a 135 wRC+. He put up 4.7 fWAR which was second on the team behind Freddie Freeman. Riley got off to a good start in 2022, but has cooled off of late and is hitless on Atlanta’s current homestand. Entering Wednesday’s game against the Red Sox, he is hitting .237/.336/.482 with seven home runs and a 133 wRC+.
Adam Duvall, Max Fried, Luke Jackson and Dansby Swanson are still awaiting their arbitration results.
