The New York Mets’ 23-year old infielder, playing for Cardenales de Lara, hit four home runs in one game.
That’s right, the amount that has only been done about 20 times in Major League Baseball games.
Acuna isn’t known for his power, either, but on this night, the younger brother of Ronald couldn’t stop leaving the yard.
He benefited from a position player on his final homer, but still: Four home runs is four home runs.
Here’s the historic blast:

All three of those came in just a 40 plate appearance span in 2024, in three separate games.
With 175 at bats in the 2025 MLB season, Acuna didn’t homer once.
But at least in winter league, he’s got the power swing working, in a way he may never have it going quite again.
