Ronald Acuna Jr., the star player for the Altanta Braves, continues to rewrite the record books with his extraordinary performance on the field.

On Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Acuna achieved a remarkable milestone by hitting his 30th home run of the season, a grand slam that solidified his position in baseball history.

The feat is unprecedented in MLB history, as Acuna became the first player to achieve a 30-60 season – hitting over 30 home runs and stealing more than 60 bases in a season.
