Atlanta Braves rookie Austin Riley has all the makings of a star. He showed that off Wednesday night’s game against the Washington Nationals.

Riley, who already had six home runs in his first 13 career games, launched another. This one was a no-doubt-about-it grand slam.

As you can clearly see by the score, Wednesday’s game is not going especially well for the Braves. Even still, it’s always nice to hit one against a division rival, especially with the bases full.

This was Riley’s first career grand slam. We can only guess that it will not be his last.
