The Sky is the Limit for the Young Superstar.

It is something that most have known for quite some time, but Ronald Acuña has the talent to be one of the best players to ever play. It might be time he solidifies himself as one of the top five players in all of baseball.

Ronald could easily put together a 40/40 season. He also has the power to hit 50 home runs in a season. Acuña could also find a way to hit 250 runs and RBIs in a given season.

Acuña is a special talent.

There is a reason that Acuña finds himself at the top of most fantasy baseball dynasty rankings. Everyone knows the talent he possesses and how good he can be for a long time.

If I were to projected Ronald’s 2021 season myself, I would probably go with something like: .290/.380/.565 with 40+ HRs, 230+ runs and RBIs, and somewhere in the 30-35 SB range.

I also expect him to be challenging Freddie Freeman for the NL MVP award in 2021.

Ronald is the catalyst for the Braves lineup. He is arguably the most dangerous leadoff hitter in the game.

He has the ability to start the game with a 450-foot bomb or to get on base in front of guys like Freddie Freeman, Marcell Ozuna, Ozzie Albies, and the rest of the Braves lineup and do some serious damage on the base paths.

2021 could be a big year for Ronald Acuña, and the Atlanta Braves, as they look to go even further than they did in 2020 when they were only one win away from a World Series berth.

Thankfully, we get to watch the incredible talent that is Ronald Acuña in a Braves uniform every night and for the next several seasons.
