Riley’s Red-Hot September Earns NL Batter of the Month Honors
Atlanta, GA — Austin Riley joked that the baseball “looked as big as a beach ball” throughout September, and the numbers back up every word of it. The Atlanta third baseman’s torrid stretch at the plate earned him the National League’s Batter of the Month Award. Riley was nearly unstoppable during the month, producing a blistering .424 batting average while launching 10 home runs, 23 runs, 27 RBI, and a .495 on-base percentage. For the season, Riley has maintained a steady .274 average, belting 31 home runs and collecting 112 RBI across 154 games.
