Atlanta Braves All-Star Austin Riley is known mostly for his bat, but he flashed his leather in a big way during Game 2 of the NLDS that left the Philadelphia Phillies speechless. <\/p>\n

In the top of the eighth inning, Phillies’ Bryson Stott skied a fly ball in foul territory down the third baseline that was looking to just be a strike. <\/p>\n

But Riley got on his horse, sprinting down the line and tracking the ball the entire way. There was the Truist Park tarp leaning against the wall holding the large net to protect fans and Riley was heading right to it. <\/p>\n
