- Becoming bilingual. Ronald was born and raised in Venezuela. He’s been learning how to speak English since his debut in 2018 and surprised fans earlier in the season when he preformed an interview in all English.
- La Bestia. Ronald’s nickname is “La Bestia” which translates to “The Beast” in English. He earned the title after going viral for pounding his chest and saying “I am a beast” in Spanish after scoring a game-tying home run in 2019.
