Last November, Ronald Acuna, Jr. was playing for the Peoria Javelinas in the Arizona Fall League. Not bad for a 20-year-old whose first full season in the majors will come in 2019. But players like Acuna and best friend Ozzie Albies, an All-Star this season, don’t seem the slightest bit nervous. Major League Baseball certainly knows about Acuna; he was one of eight players picked for an All-Star team that will tour Japan in November. Major League Baseball will actually start the 2019 season in Japan with a two-game set between the Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners in Tokyo next March.
