The Cincinnati Reds have called up a handful of players from their Triple-A affiliate this season. Nick Senzel, Aristides Aquino and Josh VanMeter have all seen some semblance of success at the big league level this year. After hitting his first major league home run last night, can Brian O’Grady be included in that list?
It’s always fun to watch a young player hit his first big league homer, but O’Grady didn’t just hit one, he absolutely crushed it. O’Grady’s pinch-hit home run in the top of the seventh inning flew 426 feet and landed in the second deck at T-Mobile Park.
