The MVP candidate was unhurt in what Atlanta Manager Brian Snitker described as a “scary situation.”
“I was a little scared at first,” Acuña, who is in the running for National League MVP, said through an interpreter. “I think the fans were out there and asking for pictures. I really couldn’t say anything because at that point, security was already there and we were already kind of tangled up, but security was able to get there and everything’s okay. We’re all okay, and I hope they’re okay.”
The Braves went on to win 14-4, but players were a bit rattled by the experience, particularly by the sight of Acuña on the ground. “I don’t think they had any ill intentions. I think that was pretty evident early on,” outfielder Kevin Pillar said. “Still, I mean, we have these rules and regulations in place. We’re supposed to feel safe on the field. Thankfully, they weren’t there to do any harm.”
Pillar added: “You just never know during those situations what people’s intentions are. Luckily, they were just extreme fans of Ronnie and wanted to get a picture or put their hands on him. But in no way is it appropriate for people to leave the stands, even more to put their hands on someone else. You don’t ever really expect it.”
