Update: Riley has been on fire since his arrival with seven homers and 20 RBI in his first 14 games, hitting .375 (21-for-56) for the second-place Braves.

The newest Atlanta Braves rookie to watch is here -- and he homered in his big-league debut.

He's outfielder/third baseman Austin Riley and he went 1-for-3 with a home run in his first game last night, a solo shot in just his second at-bat during a 4-0 win over the Cardinals.

He's hitting .343 through 47 games (so that home run pace looks even stronger) and the good news here is that he's just 21 years old since he was just 18 back in 2014 when Boston took him with the 26th overall pick.
