He also spent eight years in the farming systems for the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Milwaukee Brewers. However, he never got further than the Double-A League. He also represented Venezuela at the 2011 Pan American Games.
Ronald Acuna Sr. trained his son throughout his childhood and advised Acuna Jr. to not make the same mistakes as him, telling his son to lift weights, practice, and always hustle.
Moreover, according to Acuna Sr., the reason he failed as a player was because despite having talent, he never cared about lifting weights. Moreover, he never had the best attitude on the field which led to his career getting limited to just the Double-A league.
His father also saw the talent that Acuna Jr. and his nephews possessed and knew that they would make the move to MLB. He also stated that his son hates to lose and is competitive with his cousins, all of whom gather to play softball in their town's ballpark.
He expects that Acuna Jr. and his nephews will make it big in the world of MLB.
