Ronald Acuña Jr. is the first Home Run Derby participant! (10 longest career home runs)

so back to the top of the order here’s Akuna he sends this to straight away center field and you can kiss this baby goodbye long gone ronald Auna Jr gives Atlanta a one to nothing lead 461 ft that ball was timed up perfectly just as soon as we’re talking about it he put a a swing on this thing and drilled this ball to dead center and he smokes this one he smokes it so well it’s gone way gone to straightaway center for Ronald Akuna Jr the home run party continues here in Miami and it’s 11 to4 Atlanta how about 461 ft yeah the ground saying you’re not going to face me for a fourth time tonight and get out of here without some damage and he just threw the knockout punch that ball was on a line to dead center about halfway up the fake Ivy and Akuna with a deep drive towards left center field marisnik to the wall and Ronald puts him on the board akuna means business and he cuts the lead in half it’s a 4-2 ball game you tell me Miggy and Akuna watching each other right now i guarantee you that homer means a lot to Ronald personally means a lot to the Braves no doubt about that now a 4-2 game but that was a slider that he went down and put the barrel on almost on one foot one leg onehanded left center one of the toughest fields to hit a home run at and he’s somehow as I said one armed that out to left center he’s so special and he unloads braves get a long homer from Akunia midway up in the bleachers here come the Braavos it’s five to two you’ll see too many balls go up the upper part of that left center akuna joins Freeman his 26 homer men for the Braves if you hit it that hard and that far you ought to admire it yeah one of the few one of the few fastball mistakes Alex has made tonight and that one went a long way fly ball again aonia deep left center he’s got two homers wow 464 here we go at third base and he’s going to come through and do the LeBron oh you got to love this kid and I just said it the power numbers are going to start coming and he feels good his second yaya of the ball game curveball down he’s already shown you that he can hit the high heat oh my goodness these are the hands I’m talking about even in slow motion they are fast this crowd is on their feet putting on a show BJ yes he is oh oh boy ronald Akuna Jr with a tape measure shot he had not homered in a couple of weeks so he was due he breaks out in a big way his 12th of the year and folks it traveled 464 feet i’ve heard rumors of people hitting the balls out of this stadium when the windows are open i tell you if they were open tonight this may have flown out of the stadium absolute perfection with that swing and he could just stand and admire it with the rest of us i was waiting for that because as I said his last homer was May 17th in Texas and for Ronald Akuna that’s like an eternity well we’ve seen him hit some tape measure shots this year and add that one to the list the pitch swing and a fly ball straight away center it’s up high it is gone power versus power and Aunia comes through he’s in the leadoff spot and here we go a solo homer and Atlanta’s in front buckle up 97 belt high and belted yes it was above the yellow line straightaway center a sight for sore eyes akuna is back at that batter’s box and ready to take his first hacks at the major league level since May 26 of last season look at this are you kidding me he is back i have goosebumps i have goosebumps the first pitch and Akuna scorches it over the left center field wall some guys are just meant for the moments ronald Akuni Jr is one of those guys he had never seen Nick Paveta nick Paveta is having a really good year the first pitch he sees he hits it into the left field stands unbelievable 467 ft that is a bomb what a tone setter welcome back number 13 and Ronald awaits the 3-1 and hits it hard to left that baby is not coming back two to one 470 wow i mean just when you don’t think he can shock you anymore that ball is absolutely hammered how about an encore Matt and 4 and0 as you saw this year with that 275 RA fly ball hammered deep left field welcome back Ronald he admires that baby 34 of the way up the bleachers there’s that home run you talked about Jeff falito shot and Akuna is back with a bang it’s one- nothing well that ball got his attention i promise you that 114 off the bat a 473 ft tape measure homer by Akuna to start the game fly ball belted he’s back long home run how far up the bleachers is that going sorry Tom no that was crushed eighth home run i’m glad that was worth being interrupted that ball was hammered so his first hit since April 17th 481 ft for Akuna pitch swing and a high fly ball that’s wall up deep left ronald Akuna Jr bat flip it’s bombs away one- nothing a leadoff home run we told you seeing almost five pitches per plate appearance he saw five and the fifth one left the park in a big hurry yeah yeah I mean he’s just trying to make the other pitcher work a little bit before he takes him deep now so make him get into the count a
