The hard-swinging left-hander changed everything when he swung at a 92 mph Rasmus fastball. Once the ball landed in the right-field stands, Dickerson had his sixth home run. According to Statcast™, the blast had an exit speed of 104 mph and traveled a projected 413 feet from home.
"I was just trying not to swing at a bad pitch," Dickerson said.
