Ronald Acuna Jr. Secures His 21st Stolen Base Monday
2 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in the team's 6-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. He now has eight stolen bases over 21 games this month and a total of 21 stolen bases across 63 games on the year. Despite missing significant time due to injuries, Acuna is tied for third in all of the majors in stolen bases. His elite production on the base paths has helped make up for his disappointing output in other categories thus far in 2022. He owns a .264/.363/.407 slash line on the year to go along with just eight home runs. His .770 OPS is a career-low clip, well below his career .904 OPS. His underlying metrics are also mostly down from his career marks, but he still maintains a 90th percentile average exit velocity (91.6 mph) and a 95th percentile xwOBA (.378).
