Ronald Acuna has played two games in the majors and he’s already impressing everyone.

Well, except his teammates who did not offer him high-fives in the dugout after his towering shot against the Reds Thursday.

It was all in fun of course, sort of a baseball tradition that playfully sends a message that a new guy’s accomplishment is not that big of a deal in the majors.

The Braves did swarm Acuna after the prank, however.

He went 3-for-5 in the game and is hitting .444 after two games.

Impressive.
