Vinnie Pasquantino should unleash his inner Billy Butler

There’s nothing quite as iconic as a big dude stepping up to the plate and whacking a baseball over the fence by swinging a bat very, very hard. Smaller players can hit home runs, too. But it’s the really big dudes who prompt everyone to lean forward in their seats just a little more in hopes of seeing the physics of force, mass, and acceleration result in a souvenir for someone sitting in the outfield bleachers.

Vinnie Pasquantino is one of those large humans. Listed at 6’3” and 245lbs, he’s of a similar build to some of the best sluggers in baseball like Pete Alonso, Brent Rooker, and Matt Olson.
