Braves legend Dale Murphy sat down with Dukes & Bell live from his restaurant, Murphs, ahead of the Braves Home Opener on Thursday Night. Murphy had high praise for Austin Riley as he has ascended into one of the mainstays in Atlanta’s lineup.
“You know, he’s built a lot bigger than some of us that were coming up back in the day. Before we got into lifting weights.” Murphy said. “He’s big, strong, can run and has a good arm. A complete player.” He added.
Riley will be a centerpiece for the Braves as they battle for their sixth consecutive NL East crown this Spring.
