UNREAL: Ronald Acuña Jr. Homered on the First Pitch He Saw After Returning From a Torn ACL

Holy shit, this is aura like you read about. First Major League pitch he’s seen in a year. Crowd going nuts. Obliterated 467 feet to left center.

There is nobody like Ronald Acuña Jr., folks.

What a moment. And nobody deserves it more than Ronnie. He’s arguably the second-best player in baseball when he’s fully healthy, but has just had brutal luck the last several years. When he’s on the field, he’s the most electrifying player in the sport. And thankfully, we all get to watch him do things like this again.

We’re so back. I had grown far too accustomed to Alex Verdugo and Eli White hitting leadoff. That shit is over with.
