Yordan Alvarez Just Hit One Of The Longest Home Runs I've Ever Seen In My Life
Jesus fucking Christ, dude! Don’t even start with the juiced balls shit, either. I mean, yeah, they’re juiced, but I don’t see anyone else hitting 600-foot homers into the 26th deck like this. 80% of the league couldn’t even hit one that far with an aluminum bat.
Yordan Alvarez is 22 years old, has the AL Rookie of the Year on lock, he’s got 24 BOMBS and he didn’t even make his big league debut until June 9. That’s as many homers as Cody Bellinger over that same span, the sixth most in the majors. Speaking of the Dodgers — friendly reminder that the Dodgers traded Alvarez for Josh Fields, a 34-year-old reliever who was released by LA back in March. My God, what a monster.
PS — Tremendous home run call. Nothing kills a home run boner quite like a snooze fest home run call. This one was very much appropriate.
