Debuting in the big leagues is a dream come true for all professional baseball players. However, sometimes a debut doesn’t always go as planned, such as Roel Ramirez<\/a><\/strong> of the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> giving up six earned runs and four home runs in 2\/3 innings against the Chicago White Sox<\/a>. Nevertheless, for most players, the thrill of taking a major league field for the first time trumps a good or bad performance. But for some players, their debut provides a lasting memory that not only they but an entire fan base will remember. With the upcoming debut of Atlanta Braves<\/a> top prospect Cristian Pache<\/a><\/strong>, let’s take a look at the top three MLB Debuts from Braves players in recent memory.<\/p>\n

Top Three Atlanta Braves MLB Debuts in Recent Memory<\/h2>\n

No. 3 — Austin Riley<\/h3>\n

Very few prospects receive as much hype before their first big-league game as\u00a0Austin Riley<\/a><\/strong> did last season. Before being called up on May 15th, he was on a tear in Triple-A. He had 15 home runs on the season and hit 13 of those in his last 18 games.<\/p>\n

Riley lived up to the hype and delivered in his MLB debut, homering off Cardinals\u00a0pitcher\u00a0Michael Wacha<\/a><\/strong>. Riley\u2019s 438-foot blast into the left-field seats sent SunTrust Park into a frenzy. It also provided an unforgettable moment for his family and friends who were in attendance.<\/p>\n
