LOS ANGELES — An All-Star performance brought this Mississippi kid to Southern California.
Braves third baseman Austin Riley wasn’t sure he’d get the call. He was considered one of the top All-Star “snubs,” players considered deserving of earning the illustrious honor but for whatever reason weren’t selected.
When Nolan Arenado backed out, it opened a spot for Riley. He experienced his first All-Star media day Monday.
