Top Braves Prospect Acuna Plays in Australian Baseball League All-Star Game

Atlanta Braves prospect Ronald Acuna has been having a productive season playing in the Australian Baseball League, and on Thursday he played in the league’s 2016 All-Star Game.

The 19-year-old Venezuelan native played for the Team World All-Stars and lost to Team Australia 2-1, but went 1-3 with a leadoff double, earned a walk, and stole a base.

It’s no surprise that Acuna would have a solid outing against top competition, as he’s already had an impressive run in the ABL, hitting .375/.446/.556 thus far for the Melbourne Aces.
