BREAKING: Braves’ SECRET All-Star Weapon Isn’t Acuña or Olson… And His June is UNSTOPPABLE 🔥

The 2025 MLB All-Star Game is just weeks away from taking place at Truist Park, and on Monday, the league released its first fan voting update. Surprisingly, Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. is among the top vote-getters for National League outfielders, even though he’s only played in 21 games this season. Acuña currently sits sixth with 596,805 votes, behind Pete Crow-Armstrong (1,126,119), Kyle Tucker, Teoscar Hernández, Juan Soto, and Corbin Carroll.

The group ahead of him represents a strong mix of talent and popularity, and the voting race holds added weight for Atlanta fans with the game being held on their home turf. Seeing Acuña start the All-Star Game at home would be a thrilling moment.

Despite limited action this year, Acuña has more than earned the recognition. Since returning from injury, he’s posted elite numbers—batting .390 with a .478 on-base percentage and .701 slugging, alongside seven homers, 13 RBIs, and 13 walks in just 77 at-bats. When healthy, he remains one of the most dynamic players in the league.

Getting Acuña into the top three in voting would give him a shot at leading off the game in Atlanta—a fitting role for the face of the franchise. Unfortunately, he’s the only Brave in serious contention for a starting spot, as the rest of the lineup has struggled with inconsistency. If he ends up as the team’s lone offensive All-Star, it would be a disappointing outcome for a franchise hosting the event.

That makes continued fan support all the more important. Without at least one Braves starter, it would be a letdown after the excitement of bringing the Midsummer Classic to Atlanta.
