ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley is one of Major League Baseball’s best when healthy.
Riley, who averaged 36 home runs and 99 RBIs per season until the 2024 campaign, had somewhat of a down year. The 27-year-old slashed .256/.322/461 with 19 home runs and 56 RBIs before suffering a fractured right hand, which forced him to miss the last month of the regular season as well as the postseason.
Fast forward to Thursday at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida, and the third baseman is looking like his old self on the diamond.
