A year after leading all of minor league baseball in home runs with 39 and slugging .624, the power numbers have been less frequent to start 2023 for Moises Gomez. But in two at-bats on Wednesday night in Class AAA Memphis’s 8-4 loss to Lehigh Valley, the Cardinals outfield prospect showed glimpses of the power potential he displayed in 2022.
Gomez tripled on a ball he hit 352 feet that banged high off the tall right field wall at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa. in the fourth inning. He followed that with a solo home run to left-center field in the sixth inning that traveled 405 feet and registered a 103.
