He’s 25 years old and in his sixth season as a starting outfielder for the Atlanta Braves. Despite being a four-time All-Star, a former National League Rookie of the Year, a two-time Silver Slugger - and currently the front-runner for this year’s National League Most Valuable Player award - Ronald Acuña, Jr. has only played in 120 or more games in a season once in his career.
Hopefully, that changes this season, not only for him but for this generation of baseball fans who should get the opportunity to see the all-around excellence of maybe the most electrifying player in the National League - and right there in the conversation for the best player in all of baseball.
