Blue Jays prospect Guerrero hits deep homer out of triple-A ballpark
PAWTUCKET, R.I. — Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr. took his dominance of minor league pitching further on Wednesday, hitting a home run out of a ballpark in a triple-A game.
Guerrero hit a solo homer in the fourth inning of the Buffalo Bisons’ game against the Pawtucket Red Sox, the triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, launching the first pitch well over the left-field fence and into the parking lot behind McCoy Stadium.
The wall in left field measures 325 feet.
The homer was Guerrero’s second hit in his first three at-bats Wednesday. It gave Buffalo an 8-4 lead.
