It will be interesting to compare Venezuelan players Miguel Cabrera and Ronald Acuña Jr. in their first 395 MLB games.
Baseball fans in general, and Venezuelans even more so, have been fortunate to have seen the entire career of Miguel Cabrera and the spectacular beginning of the trajectory of Ronald Acuna Jr.
As we already know Miguel He has all the paperwork ready to enter Cooperstown and one of the great candidates to equal and surpass Cabrera’s records is Ronald himself.
For this reason, it is interesting to make this comparison between both horses, in the same number of games that they have. Acuna Jr. in the older ones.

Miguel Cabrera was for a long time the Venezuelan with the earliest home run, until Ronald Acuña Jr. arrived 🤩🇻🇪

We can see the start of both races with great quality, where Miguel Along the way, he exploited his home run fury even more in the course of it, without losing his good batting average, which in fact managed to increase it.
As to Ronald, undoubtedly his average was not that of cabrera, but 280 are not negligible either and his home run rate is simply spectacular, which suggests that if his health is with him, he may be on track not only to match Miggy’s 500 bombings but to go further, but they are only projections.
I consider that this duel is very even, perhaps Acuna Jr. he won by a slight advantage, but what is really important in this comparison is to see that the talent of both players was present in that number of games (their first 395).
One has already made his HOF career, while the youngest has all the power to do so, but he must have the health, discipline and talent to reach that path, because quality is more than enough.
