The last time the Braves made their run to a World Series championship, Ronald Acuña Jr. could only watch. A serious knee injury left him on the sidelines.
“It’s one of those numbers that wasn’t impossible but seemed impossible,” Acuña said, summing up perfectly the enormity of his accomplishments.
Acuña provided a glimpse of that fondness for the big moments during his very first postseason appearance back in 2018.he became the youngest player ever to hit a postseason grand slamAcuña struggled in the 2020 NL Championship Series, hitting just .167 as the Braves squandered a 3-1 lead to the Dodgers, and he wasn’t on the field at all for Atlanta’s World Series triumph a year later.
How improbable is a 40-40 season? Well, more than twice as many players have turned an unassisted triple play. Even more have thrown a perfect game. And, of course, Acuña blew away even that most select of groups with his MLB-leading 70 stolen bases.
