Dominican debutant Yermín Mercedes continues his dream with the start of the MLB season with Chicago White Sox and this Thursday afternoon he hit a nearly 500-foot run, this one in the opening game of the White Sox home, which is against the Kansas City Royals in the majestic Guaranteed rate field.
Mercedes, 28, hit a 485-foot run at the bottom of first-right Brad Keller. The long-range shot went to the center-left field and was alone on a 2-1 count against an 86 mph slide and gave the shots a 3-0 lead. The ball is almost out of position:
And it happens that previously, the Cuban Yoan Moncada made a homer with one on the base, just a batter in front of Mercedes, who completed the back to back. Now Yermín hits .600 in the 2021 Major League Baseball season.
