It’s finally happening. By it, I mean Kevin Maitan’s impressive power is starting to make an appearance in games as the 17 year old Venezuelan super prospect hit his first career professional home run last night in Johnson City. Not only did Maitan homer, but he really hit a long shot which made a loud sound off the bat in the video.
As if that homer wasn’t enough, Maitan had another couple of hits on the day going three for five on the evening. Video of the other hits is below and as you can see/hear, the ball just sounds different coming off his bat.
