Braves: Ronald Acuna Jr. Destroying Baseballs in Venezuela

Atlanta Braves superstar outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is continuing to show off his talents this offseason in his home country of Venezuela.

At this point of the offseason, I’m begging for any video of players from the Atlanta Braves doing something in the offseason. Well, we got a banger (as the kids say … I think) with this Ronald Acuna Jr. video.

My Spanish is not great — it’s actually non-existent — but from what I can gather, Acuna is back in his home country of Venezuela and is apparently doing a lot of local outreach to people in the community, which I absolutely love.

I have no idea what was going on at this baseball field, but I know the sound of him hitting that baseball gave me chills.

I mean, there is an umpire there so I’d assume this is some sort of scrimmage or something. I’m going to assume Ronnie won as this looks like a walk-off if I’ve ever seen one.

It’s also great to see how he stayed back once he recognized it was a breaking ball and then still generated all that power.

And I get it, this is probably some kid pitching to him with no big-league experience, but that swing … it’s beautiful.

Another tweet shows Ronnie giving away some shoes in Las Gradillas de La Sabana.

Again, I probably love this more than the home run itself. It’s so good to see players use their status to do good.

This is the kind of offseason content I love to see from Braves players, and it’s so great that Acuna gets to go back to Venezuela and give back to his community.

It’s also worth mentioning here that Acuna won the Luis Aparicio award this offseason. This goes to the top Venzualen player each season.

This is really cool stuff and I hope we get more stuff from Acuna and other Braves players this offseason.

Also, it looks like Acuna got a haircut, which I also love. He just looks faster without the dreads.
