Ronald Acuna Will Stay In Leadoff Spot
5 years agoAtlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said he will not move outfielder Ronald Acuna out of the leadoff spot in 2020. Snitker had Acuna in the cleanup spot to start the 2019 season but moved him back to leadoff. The 22-year-old superstar will be an elite fantasy asset no matter where he's hitting, but he really took to the leadoff spot last season, hitting .280/.364/.528 with 34 home runs, 78 RBI and 35 stolen bases in 492 at-bats. Hitting leadoff will depress Acuna's RBI opportunities in a potent lineup, but it won't be enough not to consider him with a first-round selection in fantasy drafts.
