Ronald Acuña Jr. continues to create his own clubs.

The Atlanta Braves star outfielder became the first player in MLB history to record 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases in a season during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

In the top of the 10th inning, Acuña swiped second base for his 70th steal of the season. The four-time All-Star then picked up the base and held it high as he received a loud ovation from the home Truist Park crowd in Atlanta.
