Acuna has a BABIP of over .400 so far this season.
For 2018 I'd project a slash line of .270/.330/.450 at the major league level.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Ronald has never had an OBP as low as .330.
The last time his average was near .270 was as a 17-year-old in the GCL.
He is hitting .322 as a 19-year-old across 3 upper levels and showing constant improvement.
Very frustrating to see projections so low.
Hitters hit.
I'd also be interested in bets on Acuna's 2018 BABIP and strikeout rate numbers in the majors.

His projection seems pretty reasonable, maybe a bit optimistic.
His steamer projection (yeah, a bit pessimistic) is .263/.316/.414. His 2016 season was .311/.387/.432 in A ball with a .359 BABIP.
I would guess .275/.320/.430..........and it would be a damn fine season for a 20 year old.

I assume that you are allowing for six times that umps ring him up on bad calls for the strikeouts, and that the .628 also assumes a few bad calls at first, where the umps made up their minds early, not anticipating his FV81 speed. (The Bravos would challenge some of these, but the politburo in NY has proven that they still miss plenty.)
Ronald with a triple in his 1st AB tonight. Average up to .361.
Y'all keep doubtin'
He'll keep mashin'
