5/12/24 BREAKING: Austin Riley Leaves Series Finale Vs Mets With 'Left Side Tightness'. The Atlanta Braves are getting beat up tonight. Not from a scoring perspective, mind you - it's tied 1-1 in the 5th inning as we're writing this. Third baseman Austin Riley has been lifted from tonight's game with what the team is calling “left-side tightness”. On video replay, it looks to stem from his final swing in the third inning, when he struck out on an elevated fastball from New York Mets Mets starter Luis Severino.

Shohei Ohtani walked and stole second base, and he was driven in by Will Smith.

5/02/24 Austin Riley's brutally honest Braves admission will get fans hyped. Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley struggled throughout April, but he remained confident in his approach and that he would eventually get results. “That first one, I was praying Moore wasn't going to snag it, and the same with the one at the wall in right field,” Austin Riley said, via Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Despite the slow start to the season, Riley has maintained the mindset that all he can do is try to hit the ball hard, and everything else is out of his control. “I'm a big believer in control what you can control and once the ball leaves the bat, there's nothing you can do,” Riley said, via Bowman.

1/24/24 Atlanta Braves State of the System: Third Base. Atlanta Braves State of the System: Third Base The Atlanta Braves have Austin Riley on a long term contract, but there's also some talent working its way through the minor leagues. Author: Lindsay Crosby Publish date: Jan 24, 2024 3:03 PM EST The Atlanta Braves are lucky enough to have the perpetually underrated Austin Riley manning third base at the major league level.

(That wasn't necessarily the case at first base , and it's questionable which bucket the shortstop position should be in.) Let's

Author: Kyle Richardson Publish date: Dec 19, 2023 10:30 AM EST During Game 3 of the 1932 World Series between the Yankees and the Cubs, Babe Ruth strolled to the plate and "called his shot" before hitting a huge homer to center field. Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley may have done an off-the-field version of that recently at the MLB Awards.
