NBC SportsAustin Riley hit his second homer of the spring Sunday as a Braves split-squad topped the Rays 5-3.

Riley's 428-foot homer left the bat at 106 mph, and he also had a 107-mph lineout to left. Not typically a big spring performer, Riley has already matched his 2025 total of two Grapefruit League homers. His high is four from 2020.

NBC SportsAustin Riley hit a two-run homer Wednesday in the Braves' 3-1 defeat of the Pirates.

Riley should be 100 percent after core muscle surgery at the end of August, and he might be undervalued after a second straight disappointing season. He did strike out more often than usual last year, but his exit velocity numbers were just as good as when he hit 38 homers in 2022 and 37 in 2023.
