You already knew that Ronald Acuña Jr. was special by virtue of all the things he did before his ACL injury last year. But now that he’s back, it’s nice to be reminded so quickly what we were missing.
For example, the dude can CRUSH the ball, as the Braves rightly note on this massive 450-foot blast …

This homer swept us off our feet, too.

That’s just good old fashioned fun right there for Acuña’s first homer since his return. I assume they won’t all include him falling on his duff after his swing, but you know what? I wouldn’t hate it if that became his new celebration.
