2021 Fantasy Outlook
Acuna was a popular pick at number one overall last offseason, and while he didn't finish as the year's best player, it's hard to say he had a disappointing campaign. His .250/.406/.581 line was good for career highs in the latter two categories and led to a career-best 159 wRC+, though his 30-point drop in average was a blow to fantasy players in most formats. His overall output was also held back by the fact that he appeared in just 45 games, missing time due to a wrist issue among other minor ailments. When active, however, the third-year outfielder demonstrated growth in important areas, improving his BB% from 10.6% to 18.8% while increasing his exit velocity from 90.6 mph to 92.4 mph. If his average remains mediocre this season (his .254 xBA suggests he didn't underachieve there), it will hurt his fantasy value by a small amount, but the overall picture here is of a young phenom continuing to grow.

Played through wrist issue
Acuna played through a sore left wrist throughout the postseason, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Acuna wasn't injured badly enough that the Braves feared he could cause long-term damage, so he played through the issue, knowing that he could heal over the offseason. That perhaps explains why he hit a disappointing .217/.333/.370 in 12 playoff games. It doesn't sound as if the injury is expected to affect him heading into next season.

Stat Review
How does Ronald Acuna compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
2017
We may now have the answer to the question: "Who else would you draft 1.1 besides Mike Trout?" Acuna Jr., before his 22nd birthday, led all players in fantasy earned auction value last year while nearly pulling off a 40-40 season, slightly edging out Cody Bellinger in overall value. Christian Yelich would have likely won the title had his season not ended prematurely, but the fact Acuna Jr. began 2017 in High-A and ended 2019 as he did is an astounding feat. His barrel rate last season was in the 95th percentile, as was his xSLG and overall offensive production when putting the ball in play. There simply are not enough superlatives to describe what Acuna Jr. can bring to a fantasy roster as he contributes to all five categories and does so exceedingly well in four of them. His deal keeps him in Atlanta for the foreseeable future and health would be the only thing that could derail this production train.
