Riley Greene had an excellent 2024 season at the plate, taking the next step toward being a true star hitter in the league. He mashed 24 home runs and posted a fine.348 on-base percentage while making his first All-Star Game. He stood out even more on the defensive side of the game. The 24-year-old outfielder
