A ball was hit tremendously hard and far to the right-center-field bleachers at AT&T Park, reminiscent of a Barry Bonds home run.
With one caveat: Mac Williamson bats right-handed.
It was a rare and magnificent sight in the Giants’ 4-2 victory over the Nationals on Monday night, someone stepping into the right-hander’s batter’s box and crushing a pitch to an area usually reserved for left-handed power hitters.
It was a decisive two-run homer in the sixth inning that left the park in a hurry, taking off at 112 mph with a 25-degree launch angle and traveling 464 feet - the longest a Giant has hit a ball since Statcast began tracking home run distances in 2015.
