Reds’ Ramos blasts 495-foot homer at Triple-A

Henry Ramos has hit a whole lot of homers in his skilled profession — 115, to be actual, between the Majors (one), Minors (89) and overseas leagues (25).

But definitely none are just like the one he shot into the St. Paul, Minn., sky on Thursday night time.

Batting within the prime of the sixth inning for Triple-A Louisville, Ramos jumped on a first-pitch sinker down the pipe and crushed it 495 toes to left-center. It was the second-longest homer hit at Triple-A since Statcast started monitoring distances in 2022, trailing solely Jo Adell (514 toes) on June 20.

Ramos pummeled the ball at 108 mph, his fourth-hardest contact made on the 12 months, and the ball simply stored carrying. It hung within the air for six.18 seconds and stored flying till it shot over CHS Field‘s outfield berm and past any fan’s grasp.

The 31-year-old knew it was a no-doubter instantly, too, as he hung his bat within the air and flipped it over house plate. A worthy celebration for one of many greatest bops of the season.
