Ronald Acuña Jr. A modern young gentleman redefining sportsmanship

In an era characterized by egos, social media spectacles, and the unforgiving scrutiny of the public eye, the definition of a gentleman has to evolve. Ronald Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves' Baseball sensation, has emerged as a modern-day gentleman who encapsulates this evolution. He embodies a new breed of athletes who excel not only on the field but also in their conduct off it, respecting others while embracing their boldness and unique personalities.

In a world where public figures often find themselves entangled in controversies, Ronald Acuña Jr. stands as a refreshing example of how sportsmanship can coexist with success. Acuña, is known for his athleticism, explosive and showy playstyle.

Acuña has an admirable ability to learn from his mistakes. Throughout his career, he has faced adversity and challenges, but he has always taken these experiences as opportunities for growth. Whether it's a misplayed ball or a publicized error, Acuña has exhibited grace under pressure, demonstrating that setbacks can be stepping stones to greatness.

Perhaps one of the most impressive aspects of Acuña's character is his reaction to criticism. In an age where social media can turn even the slightest misstep into a viral sensation, Acuña has managed to remain composed and unfazed. Instead of reacting negatively or engaging in verbal spats, Acuña has chosen to let his actions on the field do the talking. His remarkable performances and dedication to improving his game have silenced many of his critics. He understands that in the world of sports, success is the ultimate rebuttal. Instead of lashing out or engaging in public feuds, he channels his energy into becoming a better athlete and teammate.

Acuña possesses an innate ability to entertain and electrify the audience with his incredible talent, daring plays and celebrations. His flair for the dramatic not only captivates fans but also brings a new level of excitement to the game. Even when celebrating his own accomplishments, he never resorts to taunting or demeaning his opponents, choosing instead to let his skills speak for themselves.

In 2023, Ronald Acuña Jr. inaugurated the 40-70 club. His accomplishments on the field have earned him accolades and admiration from fans and fellow players alike. Yet, Acuña's approach to his achievements remains grounded in humility and sportsmanship.

In a world where the spotlight can quickly become a double-edged sword, Ronald Acuña Jr. has emerged as a shining example of a modern gentleman. He embraces the evolving definition of sportsmanship, proving that one can be bold, charismatic, and successful while still respecting others and maintaining a dignified demeanor. As Acuña continues to rewrite the record books and inspire a new generation of athletes, I think he remains an icon who represents the best qualities of a Baseball gentleman.

EDAD PARA EL BASEBALL

Para la población de beisbolistas amateurs aspirantes a la carrera profesional y peloteros que han sido dejado libres, el tema de la edad es motivo de profunda preocupación y en muchos casos de frustración. Los reglamentos de los campeonatos de la summer league de Venezuela y República Dominicana, que es donde concentran la gran mayoría de peloteros de las distintas nacionalidades latinoamericanas y firmados por las organizaciones norteamericanas, establecen la elegibilidad en edades entre 16 y 22 años, a condición de que solo pueden jugar hasta tres años de servicio profesional, plazo en el cual deben desarrollar niveles suficientes y hacer el grado para optar por una visa de trabajo en Estados Unidos. Un pelotero con 20 años tendrá serias dificultades para lograr la firma de un contrato ya que es un riesgo, para las organizaciones, apostar que en dos años pueda hacer el alto nivel que no pudo lograr en los últimos 5 años desde los 15 a los 20. Por otra parte, ya a los 20 debería te...

Dive or run through the first base. What is faster?

Lately we have seen the proliferation of the concept: “It is faster to go on running through first base”.  Furthermore, in recent tv transmission during World Series between Kansas City and  San Francisco, we heard known voices, like Ozzie Guillen’s, defending this theory. It is a reality that a great number of instructors and technical personnel of all the baseball categories also agree with this theory.  Many of them previously refused this technique because of the high risk of injury that exists when runners go head first diving into first base.  Nowadays it is argued that it is dangerous and also useless, due that, according to what they say, it is slower than continuing to run through the first base. This position will have to obey to a reasoning and analysis that we do not know. The most eminent defense that we have found of this theory belongs to ESPN in its Program Sport Science.
