Henry Ramos, Cincinnati Reds minor-leaguer, hits 495-foot homer for Triple-A Louisville
Henry Ramos played for the big-league Cincinnati Reds in April and May. He didn't hit a home run while batting .242 in 73 plate appearances before the team sent Ramos to Triple-A Louisville.
Not only did he homer for the Bats in the top of the sixth inning Thursday night in St. Paul, Minnesota, his 495-foot bomb to left-center was the second-longest Triple-A homer since Statcast started tracking distances in 2022.
Ramos' ninth homer of the season for Louisville raised his batting average to .315, and his OPS to .921.
Ramos, 31, signed as a free agent with the Reds in January.
On Friday, the Reds called up Ramos and sent Nick Senzel to Louisville.
