Even before arriving in the Major Leagues, Ronald Acuña Jr.’s offensive qualities are well known, but sometimes that aspect of his game makes us forget the equally excellent capabilities he has in the defensive field.
These virtues are exhibited by the boy from La Sabana this Friday at Citi Field, a field where he generates a loud scandal among all the fans of the New York Mets, after stealing the idol of the house, Pete Alonso, in a “blatant” way.
And it is that during the closing of the first inning, with the Atlanta Braves up 4-0, the powerful “Polar Bear” finds a partner in scoring position, in addition to a shipment from Ian Anderson (four-seam fastball at 94.5 mph), which the initialist connects with force, so much so that the ball barely leaves the park.
It is very little, it is just a saying, it is something very big because Ronald’s son, after an athletic and precise jump against the wall, makes the white ball stay in his glove, ipso facto cutting off a necessary rally for the Metropolitans.

A sign that the dangerous injury suffered in mid-2021 is completely over. Great news!
