  • Braves' Acuna Jr. becomes first player in MLB history to join 40-70 club

    Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. just keeps setting records.

    With his second steal of the game Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs, Acuña became the first player in MLB history to steal 70 bases and hit 40 home runs in a single season.

    After he stole the base, Acuña lifted the base out of the ground and thrust it to the sky in celebration.

    How Acuna Jr.'s 70 stolen bases will change team's run-game strategies going forward
    MLB analytics expert Mike Petriello joins Jays Talk Plus to discuss Ronald Acuna Jr.'s 70 SB outburst this season, and why it'll likely make team's target younger, faster players and also change their offensive strategy going forward.

        The Braves went on to beat the Cubs 6-5 in extra innings.

        A leading contender for the NL MVP award, the 25-year-old Acuña was already the only player in MLB history in both the 30-60 and 40-60 clubs.

        Acuña is slashing .335/.414/.598 with 103 RBIs to go along with his 41 home runs.

        The Braves have already locked up the NL East division crown and are considered by many to be the World Series favourite.
