After nearly 30 games for most teams, the first month of the 2024 MLB season is all but behind us. And with its passing, there are plenty of questions to be asked, some of which include where is the Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. we all know and love?

As long as every MLB season is, a team or a player’s trajectory can take a massive turn all within a week’s time. We’ve seen clubs and players start out red-hot to begin a season to then quickly fizzle out just before the All-Star break. Anything can happen over a 162-game span. But let’s start with the first 30 or so, asking these six questions after a wild start to another MLB season.

Remember when Ronald Acuna Jr. was on a mission last season? After missing most of 2021 due to tearing his ACL, it was clear that the Braves’ right fielder was still recovering in 2022. But he was 100 percent in 2023, and it showed.

Acuna played in all but three games last season, making 735 plate appearances and 643 at-bats where he scored 149 runs, had 217 hits to go along with a 40/70 campaign of 41 homers and 73 stolen bases. All that was good enough to win him the National League’s MVP award honors. But that Acuna hasn’t showed up yet in 2024.

The first eye-jarring thing about Acuna in 2024 is his lack of home runs. He has just one this season thus far, which he didn’t hit until April 17 against the Houston Astros on the road. He homered in his second game last season and had four by the end of April. He also had 38 hits, with nine doubles, 14 RBIs, and 14 walks to just 18 strikeouts. This season, he has 26 hits, five doubles, six RBIs, and 18 walks to a staggering 30 strikeouts, which ranks 39th worst in the league and leads the Braves in that category.

Acuna has seemed to lose his power stroke, and the numbers continue to prove it:
