Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta Braves) maintained his first place in the major leagues. However, he was substituted midway through the game due to an injury.
Acuna started as a right fielder in the 2023 major league away game against the Miami Marlins held on the 5th (hereinafter Korean time) at Londipo Park in Miami, Florida, USA, recorded 1 hit, 1 RBI, 1 walk, 1 run and 1 base in 3 at-bats. . Season batting average of 0.355.
Acuna recently competed fiercely with Bae Ji-hwan (Pittsburgh Pirates) for first place in stealing. Prior to this day, with 14 steals, Bae Ji-hwan, who had 13 steals, was 1 ahead in stealing bases in the major and national leagues. However, against Miami that day, he stole second base once and rose to the top with 15 stolen bases. Now Bae Ji-hwan and 2 cars.
Acuna got on base with an opponent’s error in the first inning, then scored the first run on Sean Murphy’s mid-month double. At the beginning of the 2nd inning when the score was tied 2-2, the chance to go 2nd out and 3rd base hit the lead with 1 RBI. And after stealing second base from Matt Olson at bat, he ran to third base on a throwing error by opposing catcher Nick Portes. 안전놀이터
But after that, a variable occurred. In the top of the 6th inning with a 4-3 lead, 2 out and 1 baser fouled Huska Brazovan’s first pitch, 96 mph sinker, and the ball hit his left knee hard. He sat down on the ground for a moment and complained of his pain. Afterwards, Acuna struck out on a swing with a changeup. Then he was replaced by Sam Hilliard in the bottom of the 7th inning with the starting defensive end.
Sports Illustrated’s Atlanta Fan Nation Braves Today said, “Acuna could be seen moving a little cautiously on defense in the bottom of the sixth.” Atlanta won 6-3, but the injury of the leading star, who signed a contract of up to 10 years and 124 million dollars (about 164.7 billion won), is fatal.
Acuna had already been hit in the left shoulder by a pitch from Mets starting pitcher Tyler Megil in Game 2 of an away doubleheader against the New York Mets on the 2nd and was replaced as it was. He returned intact the next day and added a stolen base. how about this time Bae Ji-hwan’s competitor draws attention.
