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 hit a two-run homer and scored twice in Atlanta’s win over the Cardinals on Monday.
Austin Riley continued his home run barrage in Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jays, going 2-for-4 with a solo shot.
Riley tagged Blue Jays’ right-hander Kevin Gausman for a 375-foot (103.9 mph EV) solo shot after an 11-pitch battle in the opening inning. He also singled in the third inning. With his two-hit attack, the 28-year-old slugger is now slashing a healthy .300/.338/.571 to go along with five long balls and 12 RBI on the season.
Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBI on Monday, powering the Braves to an 8-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
Riley took Blue Jays lefty starter Easton Lucas deep in the third and fifth innings, respectively, for his seventh career multi-homer performance. The 28-year-old power-hitting third baseman hasn’t exactly gotten off to a torrid start, but he’s batting a robust .288 (19-for-66) with four homers and 11 RBI through 16 games. He eclipsed the 30-homer mark in three consecutive seasons prior to last year’s injury-marred campaign and seems like a strong bet to get back there, if he can avoid the injured list.
Austin Riley went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.
Riley deposited a seventh inning home run off of Joe Ross 417 feet at 107.6 mph off the bat. He also added a 105.4 mph single in the ninth inning. Riley now has two home runs and five RBI on the season and seems to be starting to heat up a bit over the last few games.
