Overview
- The Mets infielder hit four home runs and drove in seven for Cardenales de Lara in a 21–9 win over Bravos de Margarita at Estadio Nueva Esparta.
- MLB.com, citing researcher Sarah Langs, said no player had previously hit four homers in a game in the LVBP’s 80-year history.
- The Society for American Baseball Research reported it as the first four-homer game in a professional winter league since Alberto Díaz in 1995.
- His final home run came off a position player, a context noted by outlets even as they emphasized the rarity of the feat.
- Acuña, 23, has three career MLB homers in 214 at-bats for the Mets, and coverage stops short of calling this a sign of a sustained Major League power surge.
