What about the Riley kid from desoto central

Been out of the loop for a week or so, who is the opening day starter?
His avg fastball was 96.3. He threw it that hard in the 7th inning too. Kid is a major talent, but an injury risk. He also does not take of his body (overweight). As a 20 year old rookie last season, he struck out 9.5 per 9 and only walked 2.45. He was extremely impressive in AA, AAA, and mlb last season.
I’m ready to see some of these pitching prospects this year. That will make or break this team imo.
Lindgren was up and throwing in the brave bullpen. I thought he was still injured.
We’ve scored 1 run tonight, albeit a exhibition. Not impressed. I just want to see Acuna already
Is that Jonathan Holder? I believe it is.
You're right if he stays healthy. I've followed him since I saw him pitch early last year. He can bring it for 3-4 innings, 97-98. But he drops off quickly after that. Always thought he would make a good closer. Got his and Acunas sigs on the same ball. Both of them are very approachable.
Reports say Acuna turned down $30M extension from Braves. Sounds like he’s betting on himself showing out.
