Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña offered Texas Rangers fans a scouting report on his brother, Luisangel Acuña, a minor league prospect at Double-A...
And before he left town, Acuña, who you could argue is the best player in baseball at the moment, dropped one other bombshell of the auditory variety that ought to be of special note to Rangers fans., “is more advanced and better than I was at his age. Maybe I was as talented, but not as advanced.”
Luisangel, a shortstop and the No. 3 ranked Rangers’ prospect according to MLB Pipeline, is tearing up the Texas League. And dare we say it: For now, he’s outperforming top prospect Evan Carter with an .837 to .815 OPS. Carter has been in a bit of a slump of late. Acuña is fourth in the Texas League in hitting and second in stolen bases . He has not been caught stealing.
Though the two spend considerable time together during the offseason, Ronald doesn’t say much about what he’s told his younger brother, only that he’s encouraged him to keep “doing what he’s been doing,” and that “it’s been a joy to watch him develop.”“He is more comfortable and confident,” said minor league field coordinator Kenny Holmberg. “It’s led to high-caliber shortstop play. Like Ezequiel Durán, he’s a baseball player and can do whatever is asked of him.
