Ronald Acuna Jr.'s latest homer, off Dodgers right-hander Lance Lynn, made him the first player in baseball history to amass at least 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases within a single season.
The Braves' 25-year-old right fielder entered Friday with 6.5 FanGraphs wins above replacement, third-highest in the NL. Betts and Freeman ranked slightly ahead of him on the heels of a scorching month of August, production that matched the success of a Dodgers team that has won 24 of its first 28 games this month. But Acuna entered the highly anticipated four-game weekend series from Dodger Stadium leading the majors in on-base percentage , steals , hits and runs scored .
Acuna now has 150 home runs for his career, making him the second player in major league history to record 150 homers and 150 steals at the age of 25 or younger.
