The 23-year-old infielder for the New York Mets, who plays for Cardinals de Lala, hit four home runs in one game.
Yes, that number has only been done about 20 times in Major League Baseball games.
Acuna isn’t known for his strength either, but on this night, Ronald’s younger brother couldn’t stop leaving the yard.
He benefited from a position player on his final home run, but still: four home runs is four home runs.
This is a historic explosion:

In 2024, those three games saw just 40 appearances in three different tournaments.
Acuna did not hit a single home run in 175 at-bats during the 2025 MLB season.
