VIDEO: Braves' Austin Riley Missed Out on Second Career Homer Thanks to Insane Bounce
By Seth Carlson
It didn't take long for Braves top third base prospect Austin Riley to introduce himself to the MLB. After hitting his first career home run on Wednesday night in a win at home against the Cardinals, Riley was mere inches away from clearing the fence in right field once again in Thursday night's game. What are the odds?!

As if the first video didn't provide a good enough visual, the second one should do justice to how frustratingly close Riley was to a second big league homer.

There's plenty more left in this one, so Riley will have a chance to extend the Braves' lead when he gets up to bat next.
