It was 464 feet to left centerfield. One of the most exciting players in baseball to watch.

Fans react to Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.'s 2 home run game

This part of the article will look at some of the best reactions from fans across the baseball world. This first fan claims that Acuna is the best player in the NL. When healthy, it is hard to argue this, but he has had some injuries recently.

Another fan said that, despite missing the first month, Acuna is going to win the NL MVP Award. If he keeps hitting the way he has tonight, then he could find his way into the conversation by year's end.

One fan asked whether or not the Braves were going to repeat themselves as champions. It's still too early to say, but the team has turned things around as of late and are finally back to above .500 on the season, which is similar to last season's start.

@barstoolsports @Barstool_ATL @Starting9 So are the braves gonna repeat?

The second home run was absolutely crushed as it went 464 feet and close to the concession stands. A funny reaction from a fan here.

@barstoolsports @Barstool_ATL @Starting9 Put a bun on that bad boy because it’s in the concession stand!!!!
