Just to give you a sense of the kind of season the Braves’ Ronald Acuña Jr. is having thus far, he went 2 for 5 with a home run on Thursday and his average went DOWN.
The Braves star is on an unbelievable tear to start the year, beating out routine grounders to short, leading the league in home runs and basically carrying the slow-starting Braves.
He’s also wowing fans between innings.
Video hit Twitter on Thursday from an earlier game this week as Acuña was warming up between innings. At the urging of some fans in the seats, Acuña aimed for a plastic beer cup from the outfield — and, of course, the throw was on the money.

Even if the fan slightly moved his arm, that throw — with a target window of mere inches — was beyond impressive.
Between Justin Turner’s home run in nachos and that throw, these baseballs are getting the full ballpark experience.
