2023-11-16
Arr, ye scurvy dogs! Mark me words, Ronald Acuña Jr., that fine swashbucklin' outfielder of the Atlanta Braves, be primed to seize the NL MVP Award! Them Dodgers be nay match, though their lads Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman be worthy foes.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is likely to win the MVP Award after his exceptional performance in the 2023 season. Acuña became the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 50 bases. However, he went above and beyond this feat by hitting 41 homers and stealing an astounding 73 bases, leading Atlanta to another NL East title. With the Braves finishing the season with a record of 104-58, Acuña is the clear front-runner for the NL MVP Award.Acuña's impact on the team goes beyond his home runs and stolen bases. He also led the league in runs (149) and hits (217), as well as leading the NL in OPS (1.012). At just 25 years old, Acuña has already won the Rookie of the Year award and winning the NL MVP Award would solidify his position as one of the league's best players for years to come.
However, there is still hope for Los Angeles Dodgers fans that one of their veteran stars, such as Mookie Betts or Freddie Freeman, could win the award. Betts, who led MLB in WAR (8.4), already has an MVP title from his time with the Boston Red Sox in 2018. If he were to win the NL MVP, he would join Frank Robinson as the only players to win the award in both leagues. Freeman, on the other hand, had an outstanding season with 211 hits and a .331 batting average, making him one of the most feared hitters in the game.
Despite the strong performances from Betts and Freeman, Acuña is expected to be the next Braves player to win the coveted MVP Award, unless there are unexpected changes in the voting process.
