The Atlanta Braves just witnessed Ronald Acuña Jr. etch his name into franchise lore once again. In a recent game against the New York Mets, Acuña swiped his 200th career base — making him the first player in the Braves’ Atlanta era to ever hit that mark. It’s a milestone that not only showcases the 27-year-old’s speed and consistency but also adds another chapter to the Braves’ rich baseball legacy.
With this latest achievement, Acuña now ranks ninth in the franchise’s all-time stolen base list, a leaderboard still dominated by legends from the 1800s and early 1900s. The names ahead of him include iconic figures such as Herman Long (433), Hugh Duffy (331), and Hall of Famer Hank Aaron (240), highlighting just how elite this company is.
Acuña’s accomplishment also places him in rare territory among active MLB players. In an era where base stealing has become more selective, his 200-steal benchmark puts him far ahead of many of his contemporaries in the modern game.
Sports broadcaster Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game amplified the significance of Acuña’s accomplishment, sharing MLB’s own celebration of the milestone, along with the full list of Braves’ all-time stolen base leaders:
Braves All-Time Stolen Base Leaders
- Herman Long – 433
- Hugh Duffy – 331
- Billy Hamilton – 274
- Bobby Lowe – 260
Ronald Acuña Jr.’s place among these greats is another reminder of his growing legacy — one that continues to blend electric talent with historic production.
