It’s really not.. people who are saying Mookie. Nah Fam. It’s #13 all day.

Acuna only player to have 30 HRs and 60 stolen bases. Only player to have 40 HRs and 50 stolen bases. Only player ever to have 40 HRs and 60 stolen bases. Only player ever with 40 HRs and 70 stolen bases. The highest stolen base total for a 40 HR season prior to this year, was 46. He didn’t just set one record, he set about 6 then broke his own records. Add in most hits in the league, most runs scored, 2nd in batting average, and this is one of the greatest 5 single seasons ever dropped on MLB.

I’ma data analyst and I did some research and if u take his speed when he touches the bag and take the length between the old bags and then look at when the tag was applied and acount for all that he still steals 64 so in other word if you extend the length of bases to the old ones he still beats the tag 64 times but of course there’s plenty of variables like maybe he doesn’t go for it as much and plenty of others but still acuna us haveing a historical season

For anyone still saying rule changes helped steal bases.. Yes that is true, but it was instant replay reviews and high velocity pitching that killed stolen bases to begin with, and for good reason because guys were stealing 50 plus bases no problem. Now you won't get away with a blown call, and don't have the luxary of a 90mph average fastball.

@mikekellum6238

9 ай бұрын

I disagree concerning high velocity pitching and replay reviews causing the decline of the stolen base.I believe the simple fact that today’s park parks have smaller dimensions in order to make the “ home run” prevalent is the cause. You don’t allow runners to try and steal if they get thrown out and it takes the bat out of a hitters hand. Stealing was a basic ploy when parks were massive. Baseball used the home run to attract the casual or seldom attending fan. Homers make these ticket holders “ look up” from their phones during a game.

Exactly. Freddie, Swanson, Ozuna, and Ozzie were in long slumps while Austin was up and down. Acuña’s MVP play kept them in range to make a run.

He hit the ball like a fighter do it with his hands, no pressure in the bat , just balanced in the middle for dont feel the weight and just when the ball come is when he make the pressure and put your body on the angle. Is similar like a boxer, they maintain the hands a little bit open, and when he extend your arm for the punch, they close the hands, just in the way. and this is for maintain relax and rest this part of the body . he do the same
