RONALD ACUÑA NEWS

Ends massive June in style Acuna went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's rout of the Marlins.

Impact Atlanta's leadoff hitter had a starring role in another huge offensive performance for the team, taking Steven Okert deep in the seventh inning to cap a 16-run eruption. Acuna has hit safely in 11 straight games and reached base safely in 18 straight, slashing .361/.453/.764 over that latter stretch, and on the year he's up to 20 homers and 37 steals through 81 games. If he stays healthy in the second half, the 25-year-old is on track to post numbers never before seen in an MLB season.

Swipes 35th steal Acuna went 2-for-6 with a pair of doubles, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

Impact Acuna has stolen a base in five straight games, and he had to swipe third to get it done Sunday. The outfielder has hit safely in all but three of his 21 games in June, batting .337 (31-for-92) for the month. The star outfielder leads the National League with 35 steals, and he trails only Oakland speedster Esteury Ruiz in the majors. Acuna is slashing a superb .328/.402/.561 with 16 home runs, 47 RBI, 67 runs scored, 23 doubles and a triple through 77 contests.

He's now up to 16 home runs and 33 steals to go along with an eye-popping .329/.403/.563 slash line across 75 games. The 25-year-old has been the most valuable asset in rotisserie baseball so far this year, and by a fair margin over the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Corbin Carroll and Freddie Freeman.

Two hits, steal in win Acuna went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a steal in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia.

Impact Acuna had been stuck in a mini-slump, going 2-for-13 (.154) over his last four games. Still, it's been an MVP-type campaign from the 25-year-old outfielder. Acuna's now 31-for-37 on stolen base attempts while slashing .327/.403/.558 with 15 homers, 63 runs scored and 46 RBI. He's on-pace to post the first 40-40 season since Alfonso Soriano's in 2006.

Remains on historic pace Acuna went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 rout of the Rockies.

Impact He manufactured the game's first run on a walk, a steal, a groundout and a wild pitch, setting the tone for the evening. Acuna's theft was his NL-leading 30th in only 70 contests, and he's the first player in modern MLB history to have 15 homers and 30 steals by the 70-game mark in a season. While a 40-40 campaign remains firmly on the table, especially as the weather warms up over the summer in Atlanta, the 25-year-old is on track to join an even more exclusive club as only two players in history -- Eric Davis in 1987 and Barry Bonds in 1990 -- have recorded a 30-50 season, and no one has ever reached the 30-60 plateau.
