After seeing improved hard contact during spring training and in his start to the season with Class AAA Memphis, Cardinals prospect Ivan Herrera produced another emphatic swing on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old catching prospect connected on a solo home run during the first game of Memphis’s doubleheader vs. Jacksonville that sailed 432 feet and jumped off his bat with a 113.3 mph exit velocity. By the end of Wednesday, Herrera’s solo shot was the third hardest-hit ball across 16 Triple-A games played and was the fourth furthest traveled, per Statcast.
