20 year old Ronald Acuna Jr. officially owns the Marlins. After being intentionally drilled by a pitch in the elbow the last time the Braves played the Marlins, Acuna hit a 431 foot home run.
THIS. IS. SIMPLY. PHEÑOMENAL.

That’s how you get revenge. The tape measure shot left a dent and chipped the paint on the wall it hit.

The Marlins, who can’t stop the Braves phemom, would make sure they hit Acuna with a pitch in his next at bat. Acuna was understandably not happy about the HBP, but stayed in the game.

Don’t expect this home run followed by a HBP battle to die down anytime soon. This kid looks like a superstar in the making.
