On March 3, the Yankees dominated the Detroit Tigers in a meaningless Spring Training game, winning by a 7-1 margin. Three outfielders combined to hit five home runs in the contest. Notable names like Aaron Judge and Brett Gardner swatted two-a-piece.
However, the most impressive longball of the day came off the bat of Isiah Gilliam, a relatively unknown prospect in New York’s system. In his only at-bat, the switch-hitter (batting from the right side) got a hold of one and shot it towards right-center field, clearing the wall with ease.
While Gilliam is not making the major league roster out of Spring Training, it was indeed impressive to see the 22-year-old use that advanced of an approach at the plate and demonstrate his power towards the opposite field.
