WATCH: Ronald Acuña Jr gets on his horse to save a run against the Rockies

The Braves outfielder ranged FAR to his right to make a catch in the gap and keep a Rockies run off the board

He's not just a hitter, folks. 

With a Rockies runner on 1st, Ronald Acuña Jr got on his horse and ran down a deep fly ball in the right-center gap to keep the runner from even advancing to 1st, nevermind scoring.

The ball came off the bat of Brenton Doyle at 102.5 mph and went 360 feet. Not only is it usually a hit (expected batting average of .730), but with Doyle's speed and the fact it was heading right for the gap, it could have potentially been a triple for Doyle. 

Atlanta's still down by only one as the Braves come to bat in the bottom of the 4th.
