You can’t get enough of Riley Green these days. On the baseball field.
Pre-sale tickets go on sale June 18 for the singer’s two scheduled Las Vegas shows in December. But while those shows are still months away, the “Worst Way” singer has been recently spending his summer days hitting up the batting cages throughout North America.
Posting in social media over the weekend, the former college quarterback took a few swings in North Carolina, while participating in batting practice with the Durham Bulls, the popular triple-A club of the Tampa Bay Rays, made famous in the Kevin Costner 1980’s classic Bull Durham.”
“Hit the bull, win a steak,” Green posted on Instagram earlier this week.
Green’s been making his way around the batting practice circuit lately, with stops with the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays. Green also took part in the Folds of Honor Rock ‘n Jock celebrity softball game on June 2 in Nashville.
When he’s not on stage, Green normally spends his downtime outdoors participating in a number of outdoor activities—from golf to turkey hunting—some of the reasons why he remains one of the most shredded performers in all of music. Before music came calling, the three-sport high school was the signal caller at Alabama’s Jacksonville State University.
“It was kind of coincidence that my college career went downhill as my music career began,” Green says in recent interview. “Staying out all night playing in bars made it tough to get up go to class.”

In addition to Green’s two shows at Las Vegas’ Resorts World (Dec. 12-13), Green is currently in the midst of his North American Tour. As most can gather from his social media posts, athletics has always been a part of routine, but at times the crazy on the road schedule has him scrambling to find ways to stay in top shape year round. “My problem is I tend to work out better when I’m in a routine, but it’s just tough to have one with this kind of schedule,” he says.
Finding a gym Las Vegas shouldn’t be a problem for the “Don’t Mind If I Do” singer, but at his home in Alabama, Green has created himself a fitness facility that makes it impossible to skip legday. During COVID, he built himself massive 6,000-square-foot gym equipped facility includes free weights, machines, and even a conditioning turf and post-workout cold plunge. “It definitely took a while to build it out and get it the way I wanted,” Green explains.
