Luisangel Acuña Hits 4 Homers, First in Venezuelan Winter League History

Independent verification underscores the rarity, not a resolved change in his MLB power.

Overview

  • The 23-year-old Mets infielder homered four times with seven RBIs for Cardenales de Lara in a 21–9 win over Bravos de Margarita at Estadio Nueva Esparta.
  • MLB.com’s Sarah Langs identified it as the first four-homer game in the 80-year history of the LVBP.
  • SABR notes it is the first four-homer game in any professional winter league since Alberto Díaz in 1995.
  • Acuña’s last blast came off a position player, capping a 4-for-6 night with a walk.
  • He has three career MLB home runs in 214 at-bats and none in 2025, with the Mets weighing his elite defense and baserunning as he enters 2026 out of options.
