Fantasy Impact:

Acuna flourished as the Braves' leadoff hitter last season, hitting .328 with 19 homers and a 1.042 OPS across 301 plate appearances batting first. Atlanta has been leaning towards moving him towards more of a run-producing spot in the lineup, but they haven't made up their mind yet. It's important because it could have a big impact on Acuna's stolen base total. Hitting leadoff would likely be best for his fantasy value in 2019, particularly when it comes to steals.
