Social media was set ablaze Wednesday night as fans found out Braves super prospect Ronald Acuna would be joining the team Wednesday in Cincinnati.
Acuna, 20, is the near-consensus top prospect in baseball.
This @Braves team is fun to watch. The heart they had to come back tonight was amazing. Upsetting I had to watch a walk off homer but @FreddieFreeman5 played a great game. Excited for the Ronald Acuna era to start #ChopOn

Here's a cheers to hoping Ronald Acuna is similar to what Mike Trout has been for the Angels. Unreal tools. Time to unleash a 20-year old budding phenom to the SHOW.

It’ll be interesting to see where Ronald Acuna slots in the Braves lineup. Inciarte is a quintessential leadoff. Freddie is a lock at 3. If you buy Albies power outburst, is he at 5 now? Acuna 2? Vice Versa? I hope he runs early and often! 🚀🚀🚀
