Ronald Acuña Jr., known for his versatility on the baseball field, demonstrated another skill by leading a pregame dance to hype up his teammates. Surrounded by his Team Venezuela squad in a circle, Acuña performed the routine prior to their World Baseball Classic game against Team Israel at loanDepot park in Miami on Saturday night.
The energy appeared to carry over to the field, as Venezuela erupted for four runs in the first inning. Acuña drew a leadoff walk and scored on a double by Luis Arraez. Salvador Perez followed with an RBI single, and Eugenio Suárez capped the outburst with a two-run home run.
Acuña's contributions extend beyond the dance; he is recognized for delivering big hits, slugging home runs, making outfield catches, and stealing bases. As the World Baseball Classic continues, Acuña aims to make further impacts at the plate.
The matchup is part of Pool D in Miami, with the tournament presented by Capital One. Venezuela's strong start in the inning highlighted their offensive potential early in the game.
