2019's most interesting player already hit home run of the year

I think the only way it could be topped is if Yasiel Puig hits a walk-off home run in Game 7 of the World Series, but that would mean the Reds getting to the World Series, which seems unlikely.

Astudillo made his big league debut last season with the Minnesota Twins and in 29 games hit .355 with two home runs, but if you remember anything about Astudillo, it's probably this highlight of him running the bases:

With his nontraditional physique and hair flying behind him like he's poking his head out of a 747, Astudillo became an immediate cult hero.
