Ronald Acuña Jr. is no longer a fun young talent in MLB. He’s a superstar and, if he stays healthy, he’s on track to win NL MVP. Plus, rain has been a consistent winner/annoyance at Wimbledon this week. The Pulse ⤵️
Stark notes Acuña has 21 home runs, 41 steals, 46 extra-base hits and 78 runs scored before the All-Star break. The 78 runs scored leads the majors, and 28 of those runs have come in the first inning alone.
Exactly what you dream of in a leadoff hitter. It’s a huge reason the Braves lead the league in on-base percentage. He’s also second in the majors in OPS behind … Ohtani . . No one has ever come close. Meanwhile, Ohtani is still on pace to be a top-10 pitcher and hit 58 home runs, which is just baffling. And
, the guy nearly hitting .400? Relegated to second-tier discussion status. It’s a great year for baseball.
