Alex Rodriguez hit 696 home runs during his major league baseball career.
His nephew, Joe Dunand, still hasn’t taken a swing in the majors, but he may have given everyone a glimpse Sunday of what’s to come if he gets there one day.
Facing A-Rod’s former team on Sunday, Dunand belted a solo home run to left field in the eighth inning of the Marlins’ exhibition 8-5 loss to the New York Yankees at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.
Dunand (6-2, 205 pounds), a 22-year old, right-handed infield prospect rated No. 19 overall in the Marlins’ system by MLBPipeline.
