Braves Rookie Vaughn Grissom Blasts Home Run for First MLB Hit

The Braves called up one of their top prospects, Vaughn Grissom, Wednesday to try and fill the hole at second base while Ozzie Albies is injured. And in his major league debut, Grissom began his career with a bang.

With a man on base in the seventh inning, Grissom hit a ball over the Green Monster for his first hit and first home run in Major League Baseball.

The Braves drafted Grissom out of high school in the 11th round of the 2019 draft, and he has risen to become arguably the team’s top prospect.
