June 7, Coors Field, 3-1 count. San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb tried to fool Nolan Jones with a sinker.
Webb missed his spot. Jones didn’t miss his chance.
Pure power and poetry in motion, Jones launched the ball 483 feet into the second deck in right-center at Coors Field, the ball coming off his bat at 114.2 mph.
“It’s almost like you don’t feel anything when you connect like that,” the Rockies’ rookie outfielder said. “You swing and watch it go.”
Jones, 25, has been a bright light in Colorado’s dismal season, but he remains an unpolished gem.
