Atlanta Braves Superstar Makes More MLB History

The Atlanta Braves lineup has made plenty of history in 2023, and in their latest game against the Chicago Braves, MVP front runner Ronald Acuna Jr. has now cemented himself alone in the Major League Baseball history books.

After his latest steal, Acuna becomes the first player in history to have 40 home runs and 70 steals in a season, and while Mookie Betts has put together a great case for MVP, it's safe to say that at this point, Acuna has to be the favourite for the award.

Add onto that great defence, a .335 batting average and 103 RBI's on the season and Acuna is clearly the MVP, and with a team around him full of incredible hitters, there's very few teams in the league that will be able to stop them come playoff time.
