Ronald Acuna might have played his final game as a minor leaguer Tuesday with the Gwinnett Stripers.

Atlanta Braves prospect Ronald Acuna, Baseball America's No. 1 prospect,  will likely make his MLB debut Wednesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.

The 20-year-old Acuna was promoted from High Single-A Florida to Triple-A Gwinnett last season. In April in Gwinnett, Acuna hit .232 with one home run and RBIs in 69 at bats. During spring training, Acuna averaged .432 with four home runs and four stolen bases in 16 games.

Below are Acuna's final two hits with the Stripers from Tuesday night before his expected call up to Atlanta:
