Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has added a whole new level to baseball's exclusive 40-40 club.
During the Braves' Friday night contest against the Washington Nationals, Acuña smashed his 40th home run of the season over the wall at Nationals Park. He is the fifth MLB player in history to record at least 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the same season.
Acuña has stolen 68 bases in 2023. That leaves him two steals away from becoming the first-ever member of the 40-70 club, The Athletic's David O'Brien pointed out.
