Ronald Acuña Jr. leads the MLB in home runs this season after recent bomb (Video)

Atlanta Braves slugger Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his tenth homer in Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals, sending him to the top of league scoreboards.

On Tuesday night, Braves pitcher Huascar Ynoa and Nationals pitcher Joe Ross had a little duel of their own, both dealing zeros through the first four innings. That is, until Atlanta brought out their not-so-secret weapon: Acuña Jr. stepped up to the plate at the top of the fifth and broke the deadlock, crushing a fly ball over the wall in right-center to put the Braves ahead, 1-0.

Acuña Jr. is the first player to reach double-digits in home runs this season, breaking what was a six-way tie atop the MLB leaderboard. Acuña Jr.’s brilliance has not been lost on fans, as some are already speculating to see if he can put together a 40/40 season this year.

Ronald Acuña Jr. sends another one into the stands and leads league home run rankings

For his stellar performances last month, Acuña Jr. was named one of April’s top players, along with Twins outfielder Bryan Buxton – it’s actually the first Player of the Month award for the 23-year-old, and he’s the second straight Braves player to win it.

Atlanta’s do-it-all star now leads the league in homers (10) and runs (26) and maintains a slugging percentage of 0.708 this season. Whether or not he wins the National League MVP, there will never be a shortage of highlight videos for this man: he just keeps on slugging night after night.
