What’s up with Riley? … After averaging 36 HR and a .286 BA per season from 2021-23, Austin Riley (3B, ATL) has struggled mightily in 2024, batting .234 with 3 HR in 211 PA around a two-week stint in May when he didn't play due to a left intercostal strain. How are things under the hood?
| Year | PA | HR/xHR | BA/xBA | bb%/ct% | GB/LD/FB | h% | HctX | PX/xPX | HR/F | Brl% |
| 2021 | 662 | 33/32 | .303/.264 | 8/72 | 38/25/37 | 38 | 103 | 138/111 | 20% | 13% |
| 2022 | 693 | 38/44 | .273/.279 | 8/73 | 38/24/39 | 32 | 125 | 167/150 | 22% | 16% |
| 2023 | 715 | 37/38 | .281/.262 | 8/73 | 41/19/40 | 33 | 123 | 137/138 | 19% | 14% |
| 2024 | 211 | 3/ - | .234/.220 | 8/73 | 43/17/39 | 30 | 118 | 87/106 | 5% | 11% |
There has been some skills slippage, but nothing alarming:
- His plate skills haven’t changed, so that gives reason for optimism with regard to BA going forward.
- The quality of contact is down...
