'He doesn't have to be Superman': Braves not worried about Acuña's postseason slump

Ronald Acuna Jr. is facing scrutiny regarding his recent playoff performance, as he has managed only three hits across eighteen at-bats during the current postseason.

Despite his struggles, teammates and staff remain supportive, with Chris Sale suggesting that a return to the team's home field may help the outfielder relax. Manager Walt Weiss expressed confidence in the player's talent, noting that his ability will eventually manifest on the field.

During a recent contest, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts opted to walk Drake Baldwin to face Acuna, a tactical decision that resulted in a critical double play. Acuna has recorded a .495 OPS over his last 39 postseason plate appearances, though he maintains that he is simply competing against high-quality pitching.
