Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has been named the National League Player of the Week for the period ending June 15, 2025. This marks his fifth career weekly honor, tying him with Freddie Freeman and Dale Murphy for the second-most in franchise history, behind only Greg Maddux.
During the week, Acuña showcased exceptional performance at the plate, hitting .619 with a 1.788 OPS across six games. He recorded three home runs, six RBIs, and a stolen base, marking his first of the 2025 season. Notably, he achieved four multi-hit games, including three consecutive three-hit performances. These contributions were pivotal in the Braves’ 4–2 record for the week.
Acuña’s recent resurgence follows a period of recovery from injury. After a slow start to the season, he has been regaining his form, now batting .390 with a 1.179 OPS, seven home runs, and 13 RBIs. His performance has been instrumental in the Braves’ offensive lineup, providing a significant boost to the team’s overall performance.
This recognition underscores Acuña’s continued excellence and resilience, solidifying his status as one of the premier talents in Major League Baseball. His ability to contribute consistently across multiple facets of the game remains a key asset for the Atlanta Braves as they navigate the 2025 season.
