The Jason Heyward Era begins using a BOOM
Jason Heyward wasted no time whatsoever demonstrating why he’s the finest hitting prospect in baseball. In his first key league at-bat, the 20-year-old hit a three-run bomb off Cubs’ starter Carlos Zambrano – and we certainly mean bomb. The ball landed deep within the Atlanta bullpen in right-center. You will find the video the following.
Zambrano fell behind Heyward 2-0, then threw him a sinker that didn’t sink almost enough. When Heyward made get in touch with, there was no doubt whatsoever concerning the end result. The crowd’s reaction was naturally wonderful. Which is Chipper Jones pictured above waiting to hug Heyward, seeking like your grandma greeting you in the door.
This has already been a spectacular opening day, featuring a no-hit bid from Shaun Marcum, a two-homer game from Albert Pujols, and a defensive gem with the highest quality from Mark Buehrle. But Heyward’s blast was the goosebumps moment.
