It feels like it has been FanGraphs week this week at Talking Chop with the release of their Positional Power Rankings along with the Braves’ Top 30 prospect list. The ranking of the best right fielders for 2021 was released Friday with the Braves and Ronald Acuña Jr. coming in third. Mookie Betts tops the list with Juan Soto coming in second.
With 21-year-olds Soto and Fernando Tatis Jr. and teammates Freddie Freemanand Marcell Ozuna commanding so much attention, Acuña almost slipped through the cracks last year, particularly given that he missed time due to inflammation of his left wrist, possibly the result of an awkward dive into a base.
