1. How much practice has he had hitting left handed?

2. Batting stance and swing look exactly like Ozzie hitting LH.

3. The man just loves destroying baseballs

4. You know he sent this to Ozzie like “this isn’t even hard dude”

5. That’s awesome. Also, what is he wearing?

6. Hits better left-handed than Jarred Kelenic.

7. The switching position rumors are true!

8. It’s like baseball is a video game on easy mode for him

9. Not that we needed more evidence from Acuña, but this is another example of how talented these guys are. Reminds me of how guys on the PGA tour can hit golf balls skillfully off handed.

10. I guess in my head he was already a switch hitter lol

11. Some guys are just different even among other professionals. I forgot what player told the story but he said Bo Jackson did the same thing in batting practice just to show a switch hitter he could and hit a bomb left handed. Ronald isn’t as big as Bo but he has that same makes it look easy level of elite athleticism.

12. Has it landed yet?

13. Ronnie is our new switch hitting short stop

14. New southpaw 6!

15. Wait a damn second. A bit of Klesko’s swing in this too.

16. LOL, He’s doing the Klesko.

    Funny enough when I would hit lefty in the yard with my brother, I did the Klesko as well. Was easier for me to time the ball coming in.

17. Serious question, you think if he took plenty of swings in BP and spring training he could actually be a decent switch hitter? I mean, having him step in against a pitcher and pull that ability out his ass to shove it up theirs could be a nice play in the lineup. Not that he’s bad against righties as is but if this could maybe improve that at all and make him even better the why not, right?
