Luisangel Acuña Posts First Four Homer Game In Winter League History

Another season, another year of extremely strong play in the Venezuelan Winter League for Luisangel Acuña. Acuña continued to excel as he crushed four home runs for Cardenales de Lara on Saturday. It is the first four homer game in Venezuela Winter League history.

Prior to his monster performance on Saturday, Acuña was slashing .282/.397/.542 (.939 OPS). He now has a  22 extra-base hits across 146 at-bats. Acuña has also walked (27) almost as much as he has struck out (33).

Of course, this is nothing new for Acuña when it comes to winter ball. Acuña hit .337 with a .914 OPS last season in Venezuela. His regular season once rejoining the New York Mets was then mighty unimpressive resulting in a couple demotions to Triple-A throughout the year.

Regardless, it is nice to see the 23-year-old infielder playing well. The Opening Day roster for the Mets is surely to go through some changes. However, if Acuña is able to carry over even a tad of what he has shown in Venezuela this winter, he could emerge as a valuable bench piece in 2026. Especially with the likes of Jeff McNeil gone and trade rumors swirling around Mark Vientos and Ronny Mauricio.
