Carlos Acuna, a 15-year-old freshman pitcher at Birmingham High, showcases exceptional talent and composure on the field, boasting a 7-0 record and a 1.09 ERA this season. Known for his emotional restraint, Acuna believes that showing emotions can give opponents an advantage. His father, a former baseball player, actively supports his development by emphasizing lessons learned from professional games. Acuna has benefitted from competing against older players, enhancing his skills. With a solid repertoire of pitches, he stands out as a star in the making within his team's program.
Acuna's father makes sure his son is learning lessons while watching the pros pitch. Acuna said seeing pitchers have the same routine and throw the ball "around the zone consistently" are two lessons.
Few freshman pitchers in the history of Birmingham High's baseball program have performed as well as Acuna, who entered this week with a 7-0 record, 1.09 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 57 innings.
