Watch: Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. crushes hardest hit ball of MLB season
Every single night it seems that Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is doing something incredible.
It did not take him long on Saturday night to achieve his latest stunning accomplishment.
In the top of the third inning of the Braves game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, he hit his 32nd home run of the season to give Atlanta the lead. As you will see on the highlight below he hit the ball with some authority. So much so, that it was literally the hardest hit ball in the Major Leagues this season, clocking in with a 121.2 mile per hour exit velocity.
Just look at this thing.
With all due respect to the season that Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts is having, there should be no debate as to who the National League MVP is going to be this season. Acuna seems to have that locked down as he continues to make history and dominate the league.
He is already the first player in Major League history to have 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season and it is not out of the question that he could reach 40 home runs and 70 stolen bases before the end of the campaign.
He entered play on Saturday hitting .338 for the season with a league-best .420 on-base percentage and a league-leading 63 stolen bases. He is also leading the league with 314 total bases entering play on Saturday.
