Jo Adell showed Tuesday why the Angels made him the No. 10 pick in 2017 MLB draft. He also made history.
Adell, a former consensus top-10 prospect in baseball, leads all minor leaguers with 20 home runs this season. And in the Salt Lake Bees’ game against the Sugar Land Space Cowboys on Tuesday night, Adell hit a truly colossal blast.
His game-tying three-run homer in the eighth traveling an astonishing 514 feet. That’s the longest home run ever tracked by MLB’s Statcast system, which has been in use in the majors since 2015 and at certain minor league levels since last year.
