VIDEO: Ronald Acuña Demolishes Leadoff Home Run to Give Braves Early Lead Over Marlins
By Thomas Carannante
One pitch, one run. The Atlanta Braves will take that kind of output as much as they can, especially with Ronald Acuña Jr. batting leadoff. The young superstar clubbed his 13th career leadoff home run to give his team the early lead over the Miami Marlins. This was no cheapie either.
Yeah ... he's ready for the #HomeRunDerby

That pitch looked like it was some pretty good practice for the Home Run Derby, where MLB fans will get to see Acuña destroy many more baseballs.
The Braves have since added another run and they're off to a quick 2-0 lead.
