Oakland A’s centerfielder Ramon Laureano is really, really good. He reminded us of this yet again last night when he opened the bottom half of the first inning with a 441 foot blast to left field.
Laureano later added an insurance run with another solo home run, this time to right field. Through 93 big league plate appearances Laureano is carrying a .259 ISO, which is 31 points higher than his minor league career high of .228 this season in Nashville.
He’s also demonstrated an ability to reach base often, as well as play elite outfield defense.
