Once rosters expanded on September 1st, the Mets made a long overdue decision by promoting top prospect Ronny Mauricio. The sample size is small, but his performance thus far in the big leagues shows New York should’ve called him up when there was still something to play for this season.
Mauricio collected another memorable moment on Tuesday night at Citi Field by hitting his first career home run. It wasn’t a cheap one, either. Ronny clobbered this ball 440 feet with an exit velocity of 112.4 mph.
First career long ball for Mauricio!
