Ronald Acuna Jr has had maybe the best year of his career this season. Possibly one of the best ever, depends how you stack up the stats and which stats you deem important.
One thing that is undeniable for Acuna this season is that he has been the favorite for NL MVP since literally day one. He has not disappointed.
Getting better by the week it seems. Acuna has accumulated stats that could give us, the fans, something to witness for the first time in the history of the MLB.
That is saying a lot giving the storied history of baseball and the MLB going back over a centrury.
Ronald Acuna Jr set to make History
In that time span of over a century of baseball being played, not one player has ever accumulated the type of stats Acuna has this season alone.
After getting his 60th stolen base last night. He is now one home run away from being the first, yes, the first baseball player to ever record 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in one season.
Right now he is sitting at 29 home runs and 60 stolen bases. This is a mark that will be set and probably not touched for a number of years.
On top of his success at the plate and stealing bases, he has been a force in the outfield. As well as a leader on one of the best teams in the entire league.
One thing is certain this last month of the season. Eyes will be glued to the Atlanta Braves, and more importantly, to Ronald Acuna Jr.
