Ronald Acuña Jr. effortlessly blasted Home Run Derby homers while blowing bubbles
When you think of the word "effortless," what do you envision? After Monday night's display, I hope you'll start thinking of Braves phenom Ronald Acuña Jr., who put on an absolute laser show in the first round of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby at Progressive Field.
Blasting homers around the park with ease, Acuna swatted 25 dingers in his head-to-head matchup against the Pirates' Josh Bell, but it was Acuna's style that warrants special attention. Specifically, his nonchalant swing that found him clubbing opposite-field homers more than 400 feet while blowing bubbles at the plate. Really!

That, my friends, is unteachable. You just have it or you don't, and Acuna definitely does.
