Austin Riley Finds His Swing | MLB News

Austin Riley’s clutch performance Thursday—doubling twice and driving in both runs—wasn’t just about the stats; it was about his renewed focus on balance and swing mechanics. Since the All-Star break, his numbers have soared: more extra-base hits, higher exit velocity, and a swing that’s now tighter and more direct, thanks to focused work with hitting coach Tim Hyers. Riley’s confidence is growing as these adjustments become instinctive, and his surge couldn’t come at a better time for the Braves, who need offense against tough opponents like the Brewers and Dodgers. He also praised the bullpen as the team’s backbone—a critical note as the postseason looms. Riley’s turnaround looks like the answer the Braves have been waiting for.
