VIDEO: Ronald Acuña Tearing the Cover off the Ball in Batting Practice Will Get Braves Fans Jacked up
By Thomas Carannante
Atlanta Braves slugger Ronald Acuña Jr. seems to be sporting the Mother's Day lumber almost a week later during batting practice, and he's absolutely crushing balls with it. A clip of the young phenom taking cuts surfaced on Saturday, and he's clearly ready to get back on the field for the 2020 MLB season.
Watching @ronaldacunajr24 take BP is so satisfying ?

Fans can't wait to see that sweet swing when things get back underway once the owners and players agree to a deal. We already saw Acuña crushing BP earlier in the week, so it's clear he's making sure he stays fresh in order to help keep the Braves among the best in the NL.
After all, Atlanta has some unfinished business to take care of, whether it's during a full 162-game season or a shortened one.

Keep rippin', Ronny. Baseball's almost back, and fans will want to see you get off to a hot start and not look back.
