  Acuna went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's spring game against the Cardinals.

  Acuna went 2-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. He took Nick Kingham deep in the first inning for his second homer of the spring. Acuna now has a .273/.385/.545 slash line through 26 plate appearances, and the 21-year-old continues to fly off draft boards as fantasy GMs salivate over his five-category upside in what will be his first full big-league campaign.

• Braves' Ronald Acuna: Swipes first bag of spring

  10D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Acuna went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers. The 21-year-old is widely expected to blossom into a superstar this season, but he has yet to catch fire this spring, posting a .200/.304/.350 slash line and a 3:9 BB:K through nine games with one homer and one steal. Acuna's upside is too massive, and his performance as a rookie too good, to put much weight on a handful of March plate appearances, but fantasy GMs investing heavily in him for 2019 would certainly be reassured if he can string together some hits before the end of camp.

Acuna could well hit earlier in the order than fourth in the regular season, but wherever he gets slotted he figures to be a key part of the Braves' offense after slashing .293/.366/.552 in his dazzling 2018 debut.
