Ronald Acuña Jr. has been named National League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year, marking the eighth time a Braves player has been honored. Previous winners were Alvin Dark in 1948, Sam Jethroe in 1950, Earl Williams in 1971, Bob Horner in 1978, David Justice in 1990, Rafael Furcal in 2000 and Craig Kimbrel in 2011.

Acuña is the eighth left fielder to win the NL award. The others were the Reds’ Frank Robinson in 1956, the Cubs’ Billy Williams in 1961, the Giants’ Gary Matthews in 1973, the Cardinals’ Vince Coleman in 1985, the Dodgers’ Todd Hollandsworth in 1996, the Pirates’ Jason Bay in 2004 and the Marlins’ Chris Coghlan in 2009. There have been six left fielders who won in the AL.

Acuña is the third native Venezuelan to be named Rookie of the Year, and the first in the NL. The two AL winners were Luis Aparicio in 1956 and Ozzie Guillen in 1985, both shortstops for the White Sox.

Acuña was the only player named on every ballot.
