Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. announced on "SportsCenter" that he will participate in the upcoming Home Run Derby held at Truist Park in Atlanta. Expressing gratitude to his supportive fans, Acuna emphasized their role in his journey as a player. This will be his third derby appearance; despite no Braves player having won before, he aims to put on a show. Following a significant ACL injury, he has returned to form, showcasing impressive statistics this season, including a .385 batting average and nine home runs going into the Mets game.
I'm just happy to announce that I'll be participating in this year's Home Run Derby, and I'm even more excited to be doing it at home in Atlanta in front of our fans.
I feel like the expectation and the goal is always to win, no matter what. But more than anything, I'm just excited to do it in front of our fans and put on a good show for them.
