Need a hype man? Acuña can do that, too

Ronald Acuña Jr. can contribute on the baseball field in just about any way imaginable for a position player -- he can deliver a big hit, slug a monster home run, make a tremendous catch in the outfield or steal a big base.
He can also hype up his team with a pregame dance.
That's exactly what Acuña did with all his teammates surrounding him in a circle prior to Team Venezuela's World Baseball Classic matchup with Team Israel at loanDepot park in Miami on Saturday night.
Venezuela responded immediately, scoring four runs in the first inning against Israel -- Acuña drew a leadoff walk and scored on a Luis Arraez double, which was followed by a Salvador Perez RBI single and a two-run homer from Eugenio Suárez.
Acuña will hope to do more damage with the bat as the WBC continues, but don't sleep on those pregame dance moves.
