Braves third baseman Austin Riley talked about Brumley’s impact on his career and how he learned of Brumley’s death.

"I got a text about 2:30 this morning and I have been up since," Riley said after Atlanta’s loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, via ESPN. "There are very few people that have been role models in my baseball career, my dad being No. 1 and Mike Brumley being No. 2.

"I feel for his family and his kids and everybody that he was close to. This is a tragic day. Prayers out to his family. It's a tough pill to swallow."
