TAMPA, Fla. -- Outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr., the Braves' No. 1 prospect, showed another glimpse of his enormous offensive potential on Friday vs. the Yankees.
In his first at-bat against Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka, Acuna blasted a laser two-run home run to right-center field for his first homer of the spring. It was his sixth hit in his last 10 spring at-bats.
Acuna went through his pregame warmups and batting practice with his hat akilter, which seemed to irk team brass who said they wanted the 20-year-old to maintain a professional appearance while in uniform.
