In his final tune-up before he suits up for the World Team in Sunday's SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in Miami, Ronald Acuna turned in one of the finest performances of his season, collecting four hits including a home run to lead Double-A Mississippi past Mobile, 11-3.
The Braves' No. 7 prospect went 4-for-5 in the contest, which marked his fourth four-hit game this season and third as a member of the M-Braves. He also scored two runs and tallied three RBIs, two of which came on his home run in the fourth inning.
Though currently 86th on MLBPipeline.com's Top 100 Prospects list, the 19-year-old Acuna has proved to be among the sport's top prospects while ascending the Minors at an impressive pace in his first fully healthy season.
Acuna spent the first month of the season in the Florida State League, where he batted .287/.336/.478 in 28 games for Florida. He's been even better in the Southern League, with a .325/.374/.507 line, eight home runs and 18 stolen bases in 54 games.
Overall, Acuna is heading to Miami at a high point in a season that's seen him hit .312/.361/.497 with 11 home runs and 32 steals in 82 games across two levels.
