When you watch what Jorge Alfaro did in the fifth inning Tuesday, when he effortlessly belted a fastball just above the strike zone for a 357-foot home run over the right-field fence at Progressive Field against the Cleveland Indians, you remember just how much raw power the Miami Marlins catcher has at the plate.
“I just tried to get a pitch that I could make contact with,” Alfaro said.
