Ronald Acuña Jr.’s ACL tear in June almost derailed the Atlanta Braves season. Fortunately, the team rallied and ended up winning it all while their franchise star recovered. Although he didn’t contribute to the World Series run in the postseason, he plays a huge role for the Braves.
In 82 games this past season, Acuña posted an OPS of .990 and 84 recorded hits, 24 home runs, 19 doubles and 17 stolen bases. He does it all for Atlanta on offense and defense and the team is eagerly awaiting his return. Many athletes remain out for over a year after tearing their ACL.
