Braves' superstar Ronald Acuna Jr stuns Yankees with incredible throw to execute double play

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. uncorked the potential throw of the year during the team’s 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night at Truist Park.

The Braves were up 3-0 in the top of the third inning with runners on first and second with one out. The Yankees’ Cody Bellinger was up to bat as the tying run.

Bellinger hooked Braves’ starting pitcher Spencer Strider’s slider down the right field line with a sky-high fly ball. Acuna caught the fly ball a step off the warning track.
