Atlanta Braves' All-Star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (27) threw a perfect dart to third base against the New York Yankees on Friday that is undoubtedly in the conversation for throw of the year.

Acuna casually caught a pop fly that sent him to the corner of Truist Park before he did the unthinkable - launching a missile without a single bounce in what might be one of the greatest throws from right field from any player of the past decade.

He's also 2-3 at the plate with a triple, single, and an RBI as the Braves are currently up 7-0 on the Yankees. 

The right fielder made the National League All-Star team after slashing .323/.435/.590 with 12 runs and 22 RBI despite missing the first couple months of the season, playing in just 45 games prior to Friday's action. 

Acuna put on a masterclass in his long-awaited return on May 23rd, including a homer in his very first at-bat on the first pitch he saw. 

The former 2023 National League MVP got a single in the first inning of the 2025 All-Star Game, later scoring a run thanks to teammate Ketel Marte hitting a two-run double that brought him and Shohei Ohtani in for an early 2-0 lead. 

It marked Acuna's fifth All-Star game appearance and his fourth in the past five years.
