Ronald Acuna Jr. & Juan Soto on styles of play, talk NBA & LeBron James' influence #mlb #espn

Who has more flow? More flow, more flow. It's difficult. I don't even know how to say it. You say it and I'll say it. I don't have nothing to say. I'm going to give it to you. I'm going to beat you with the shuffle. You're not going to do it. You have to give it your all. But the shuffle has to give it its all. Rock him to sleep, baby. Ronald, one thing about you that has always fascinated me. You have your flow in the way you play. And you've never let anyone take that away from you. Where does that confidence come from? My dad taught me that. When he played, he always talked to me a lot. He always told me, play hard. Be yourself. Don't change your way of playing. If Dom gave it to you, use it. I think Ronald Acuna doesn't need to do this kind of show. A lot of people say I'm arrogant. That I'm not humble. But that's my way of playing. I'm not going to change because I don't like my way of playing. If you don't like it, well, close your eyes. If you change your way of playing, you lose the essence of Ronald Acuna Jr. If you knew me like that, well, that's the Ronald Acuna Jr. that I am. The interesting thing is that since you came to the big leagues, now, today, in 2023, you see that the big leagues are embracing that way of playing. How does that make you feel? It makes me feel good because people didn't like it. But now, thank God, more guys are coming up. They also have a similar style to mine. And people are already adapting. I've seen that you have incorporated a lot of the NBA players' celebrations when you hit homeruns. Why do you want to do that? Well, I do it because it catches my attention. I like the way I play. So, I anticipate when I do something good, I'll do this celebration. You met Trayvon the other day, right? Yes, we exchanged shirts. We've talked a couple of times on Instagram. And I understand that you're going to meet LeBron James. One day. You know. What a young talent. Braves are sending a franchise record eight players to the All-Star Game in Seattle next week. Half of those players are in the Midsummer Classic for the very first time. Atlanta, the first National League team to send at least eight players to the All-Star Game since the Cubs did so back in 2008.
