It’s really difficult to process just how good Major Leaguers are at baseball. We see them hit 100 mph cutters, which is crazy enough. We see them make incredible plays in the field. But they can also find a way to wow fans just by messing around before a game.
Just look at what Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. did before Monday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
While warming up during batting practice at Chase Field, Acuña ended his long-toss routine with the most casual 300-plus-foot throw you’ll see. Without even needing a crow hop, Acuña launched the baseball some 10 rows into the opposite stands.

He made that look way too easy.
I especially love the reaction of the throwing partner. He tracked the ball initially and then watched as it sailed way into the stands. Almost like, “Did that just happen?” Yes, it did. Acuña is that good.
MLB fans were justifiably wowed by that throw.
