Video: Diamondbacks prospect hits 527-foot home run
The Arizona Diamondbacks have one heck of a slugger in their pipeline.
Prospect Leandro Cedeno launched an absolute bomb on Saturday in a minor league game. The Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles (seriously, that’s their name) first baseman was batting in the bottom of the fifth inning with his team down 5-4. He had a 3-0 count and decided to swing away. The result was an absolute bomb.
Take a look at this massive homer by Cedeno, which was estimated to have traveled 527 feet.
527 FEET for Leandro Cedeno 🤯

That ball went across the street.
That was Cedeno’s 18th home run of the season. The 23-year-old is batting over .300 for the Sod Poodles.
They should get him in the MLB Home Run Derby.
