Ronald Acuna Jr. got struck out by Marlins catcher Jacob Stallings and couldn’t stop laughing

Jacob Stallings Ronald Acuña, Jr.

Jacob Stallings is not a pitcher.

He is, in fact, the catcher for the Miami Marlins, and he got called in to be a position player pitcher during a 14-6 blowout loss to the Atlanta Braves.

But he’s the latest position player to get a strikeout, and this one was a biggie: He struck out … Ronald Acuna Jr., who has been known to hit bombs.

The MVP candidate stepped to the plate, watched a 46-MPH eephus pitch come in for a strike, fouled off a 78-MPH fastball, and then watched as an 85-MPH pitch caught the strike zone.

The laughter is the best:

Ronald Acuña Jr. vs. Jacob Stallings.
