This Marlins rookie drops jaws with massive home run blast | Miami Herald
Lewis Brinson might not be the second coming of Giancarlo Stanton. But he blasted a towering home run on Tuesday that brought back a few memories of the Marlins’ former slugger.
Brinson’s deep, two-run shot in the fourth inning landed in a grass courtyard on the other side of the Marlins’ spring training complex, an area where Stanton once deposited baseballs.
“I knew it was gone, obviously,” Brinson said of his first homer in a Marlins uniform.
Former Marlin Marcell Ozuna, who was playing left field for the Cardinals when Brinson tagged Jack Flaherty’s 0-1 pitch, barely gave the ball a second look as it left the park.
