Brian Anderson has hit 52 home runs in the minors in the four years since the Marlins drafted him.
But he has yet to feel what it’s like to send a ball soaring over the fence at Marlins Park or any other in the majors.
That could change this season.
But even if does, hitting tape-measure shots like the 430-footer Anderson hit Friday afternoon during the Marlins’ exhibition game in Lakeland isn’t the primary focus for the 24-year old rookie with a chance to be Miami’s future third baseman.
