Gabriel Rincones Jr. launched a 385-foot home run off Miami Marlins pitcher Ryan Gusto for his first MLB hit at Citizens Bank Park. The blast came in the bottom of the second inning and put the Philadelphia Phillies up 1-0. Statcast logged a 105.1 mph exit velocity and a 38.0-degree launch angle, a drive that would clear all 30 big-league ballparks. Called up this weekend, Rincones' first big-league hit being a homer gives the Phillies immediate offense and showcases his power potential as he starts his MLB career.
