2025 Player Outlook
Austin Riley lost a lot of 2024 to injury but I see no reason to shy away from the 27 year old and expect him to get right back to the production we saw out of him for the previous several years which is incredible talent. I don't see any reason he shouldn't be able to push 35+ homers with 100 runs and RBIs with a solid batting average this season and I think he still has MVP type ceiling in him.

Austin Riley went 2-for-3 with a double, homer, two walks and four RBI on Thursday evening, propelling the Braves to an 9-3 victory over the Phillies in Philadelphia and a split of their doubleheader.
Riley opened the scoring in Thursday’s contest with a two-run double off of Zack Wheeler in the fourth inning, then he rode home on a two-run blast off the bat of Ozzie Albies. Riley also walked in the sixth inning and scored on a two-run single by Luke Williams. He then tagged Joe Ross for a 409-foot (111.0 mph EV) two-run shot in the seventh inning that made it an 8-0 ballgame. With the two-hit attack, he’s now hitting .280/.336/.444 with nine homers and 32 RBI on the season.
Austin Riley is batting second on Tuesday night against the Phillies.
Riley continues to bat second behind top-of-the-order spark plug Ronald Acuña Jr. when veteran Sean Murphy is behind the plate, which is the case on Tuesday night in Philadelphia. He’s been dropped to the middle of the order whenever red-hot rookie backstop Drake Baldwin is handling the catching duties.
Austin Riley went 3-for-6 with an RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Red Sox on Sunday.
Riley is now hitting .287/.335/.451 on the season with 28 RBI. The power is still not yet at the level we’re used to seeing, but he’s making good contact, and you have to think the ball will start flying in the summer months.
Austin Riley blasted a pair of two-run homers on Sunday night, propelling the Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Dodgers.
The 28-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 426-foot (108.5 mph EV) two-run shot off of Dustin May in the home half of the first inning. He then repeated the exercise in the third inning with a 416-foot (108.0 mph EV) two-run bomb that increased the Braves’ lead to 4-0. That would be all of the support that Bryce Elder and company would require. Riley finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting .292/.336/.511 with eight long balls and 24 RBI on the young season.
