Since he debuted last April 25 against Cincinati, the young Venezuelan has not stopped hitting. The young personage of these renewed Braves of Atlanta is more than encouraging, because, to date he is leaving amazing numbers at his young age.
The newspaper Meridiano de Venezuela describes it this way:
The native of the state Vargas has become one of the revelations of this beginning of season causing sensations in Braves of Atlanta, organization that has given him all the confidence to be the master of the gardens in this start of the 2018 campaign, that invites us to think that if he continues like this, he will become one of the great figures of the MLB in the coming years.
The young person in 53 turns has scored 9 races, has connected 16 hits, has promoted 6 races, with 3 homers and a .320 average.
I said by Acuña:
"I want to be like Mike Trout, I want to reach that level, I want to reach greatness, I want to get to the big leagues, stay in the big leagues and play for many years, everything that goes with it, go to the All-Star Game, win championships , all that."
