MLB needs to start taking a strong stand on intentional hit batters

Ronald Acuna Jr. is one of the best players in baseball, and he is just a 20-year-old rookie, very possibly this year’s National League Rookie of the Year.

And in the first three games of a four-game series against the Marlins, Acuña just couldn’t stop hitting. He went 8-for-13 with a double and four home runs, and he led off each of the three games with a home run.

When he stepped into the batter’s box at SunTrust Park Wednesday evening to face Jose Urena of the Marlins, Urena did not greet him kindly [VIDEO].
