Trevor Larnach Hits Mammoth Home Run
4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach hit the second home run of his career in Monday's 8-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Larnach got the scoring started for the Twins in the third inning with a solo homer off of Orioles' lefty John Means, then later drove in his second run of the game on an infield single. His home run was a mammoth blast to dead center field, leaving the bat at 112.2 MPH and traveling 461 feet. Larnach is batting just .213, though his .253 expected batting average, .506 expected slugging percentage, and 15.6 percent barrel rate are all superb marks, albeit in a small sample size of 32 batted balls. He's a definite hold, particularly in dynasty formats, though the Twins' outfield will start to get crowded when Byron Buxton (hip) and Max Kepler (hamstring) are fully healthy.
