Leandro Cedeno wasn't among the elite prospects invited to the MLB Futures Game on Saturday, or even among the Arizona Diamondbacks' top 30 prospects, but he can now say he's done something none of his peers have done.
The D-backs prospect, playing for the Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles, launched the longest home run MLB and its affiliated minor leagues have seen in quite some time on Saturday. The ball, hit off San Diego Padres prospect Nolan Watson, traveled a jaw-dropping 527 feet before landing well past center field.
The ball appeared to land around a tree by a nearby parking lot.
