Atlanta Braves: Expect even bigger results for Ronald Acuna Jr. in 2020

It’s hard to imagine a season being any better than Ronald Acuna’s 2019 season for the Atlanta Braves, but get ready, cause it’s coming.

Not only has Ronald Acuna Jr. emerged as the face of the franchise (along with Freddie Freeman) for the Braves, but also one can argue Acuna is now one of the faces of Major League Baseball.

In a little less than two full seasons, Acuna has hit 67 home runs with a .285 average and an OPS-plus of 130. He has a WAR of 9.6.

If it weren’t for an injury the last week of the season, Acuna could have been the first player since 2006 to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases last year.
