3. Rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. Will be Even Better as the Weather Heats up 

Ronald Acuna Jr. has played well so far for the Braves. Considering his age and the quality of pitching he has faced the rookie has fared as well as should be expected. Still, a player with Acuna’s talent it is just a matter time before he goes on a tear.

A tear showing Braves fans what many scouts already know. Acuna is a once in a generation prospect who has the talent to be a top-five player in all of baseball.

His speed and power combined make him an exciting player. An exciting player who has the talent to be mentioned in the same breath as Bryce Harper and Mike Trout.

The first part of this season will be spent learning how pitchers are going to attack him and adjust to the level of pitching he is facing. Once that happens Acuna is going to go on a tear and improve the Braves already good offense.
