Ronald Acuna Jr. could not continue his regular season hitting to October

After a great season by the Braves, many wouldn't have bet against them to exit in the divisional round. The Braves were ousted by the Philadelphia Phillies in an intense four-game NLDS showdown, and, to say the least, it was not the same Acuna Jr.

He only had two hits and a dismal .143 average to show for as the Braves exited the postseason. However, it's not the end of road for them, as he could be the Braves' franchise cornerstone and add more hardware and championships with the talented roster.
