I've heard of that guy.
This is what I was going off when I posted that.
I see upon further review that it was Vlad's HOF career, not Olympic Stadium to which you were referring. You might want to throw in a "where" in the middle of the bolded area for me and my fellow dumb asses.With 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th in the park his Dad built
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?
Bump to the top, hopefully people dont freak out if he has a slow start.
Ronald is batting .421 with 1 HR, 4 RBI, and 1 SB in 22 PA.
BB%: 13.6%
K%: 18.18%
The guy is elite. The cream of the crop. The Venezuelan Trout.

The Venezuelan Trout.
BB and K rates by level:
2017 A+: 126 PA, 6.3% BB rate and 31.7% K rate
2017 AA: 243 PA, 7.4% BB rate and 23% K rate
2017 AAA: 243 PA, 7% BB rate and 19.8% K rate
2018 Major Leagues: 41 PA, 7.31% BB rate and 19.51% K rate
Has anyone else noticed Ronald's batting stance is kind of similar to Trout's?

First 10 games, Ronald is faring well when compared to his American doppelganger.
BB%: advantage Trout
K%: advantage Acuna
ISO: advantage Acuna
wRC+: advantage Trout
Home run rates are similar. Acuna is 1 per 22.5 PA. Trout's was 1 per 21.3.
wOBA is similar: Acuna is .395. Trout was .409.
BUT
Trout had a .383 BABIP, whereas Ronald has a .344 BABIP.
Ronald is 0-8 against the Giants with 0 K and about 6 smokers.
I mean, this is nuts. The guy is unbelievable.

Is that comparing to Trouts late season debut? I don't know if that's fair as many thought Trout was fatigued from a long season at this point. Acuna might have a late season fade too. Especially if he does a lot of running on the basepaths.

% of balls hit "Medium" or "Hard"
2012 Mike Trout: 85.1%
2018 Ronald Acuna: 85.3%
This is scary. I mean.
Acuna is a huge beast. Early returns basically confirm what everyone saw in the minors.
Will he be Trout? Almost certainly not, Trout is on pace to go down as possibly the greatest ever. Does he look like he’s going to be a massive stud for a long time? Yes. Yes he does.

I think of Justin Upton with a better attitude with Acuna.

Did Justin Upton have attitude problems? Seems like one of those things where his black skin implies the existence of non-existent baggage.
