I took a quick at players before their age-22 season to see how the Atlanta Braves young superstar, Ronald Acuna Jr. ranks among the game’s all-time greats.
Acuna is fifth all-time in homers through the age-21 season. He has five more than Mike Trout’s 62 and did it in 288 less plate appearances.
Acuna is tied for Stuffy McInnis for steals through the age-21 season with 53 swipes. Stuffy has him beat for the coolest name. It puts him ahead of players like Alex Rodriguez (51), Robin Yount (51), Ken Griffey Jr.
