Ronald Acuña Jr. stole third base with ease ... on a Braves teammate's walk
You want further proof that Ronald Acuna Jr. is absolutely the leading MVP candidate in the National League?
The Atlanta Braves slugger and speedster has been doing it all this season, from hitting dingers to swiping bags, and I’d even add this to the mix: On Monday night, after his teammate Matt Olson walked against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he had the presence of mind to head right to third base because Max Muncy wasn’t paying attention. Oops. And the replay shows Acuna casually jogging to second before ZOOM, he takes off.
Now THAT’S some most valuable stuff!
