All-Star Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. may be one of the most feared hitters in the game today, but the superstar doesn’t want to have anything to do with the rain.
Right before a rain delay paused Wednesday afternoon’s finale between the Pirates and Braves, Acuna heard the sound of thunder and judging by his reaction, he didn’t want anything to do with it.
After ducking his head, the 23-year-old started to slowly walk to the Braves dugout taking off his batting helmet. But after another boom of thunder, he quickly ran to the safety of the dugout.
Acuna Jr. was on first after walking in the top of the seventh before the rain delay was called.
Prior, Acuna Jr. had two hits, including a solo home run.
Acuna Jr. may not be a fan of thunder and lightning but he's had plenty of thunder at the plate with 25 home runs so far.
