If you don’t know the name Rece Hinds yet, you should.
The 2019 Cincinnati Reds second-rounder has been hitting dingers in the minors, even if his batting average isn’t great, and after the big league team called him up, he’s hit two MONSTER home runs, and it’s made everyone (including announcers) excited.
His first dinger earlier in the week went 449 feet, as you’ll see below. His second? A 458-foot bomb that had the play-by-play man John Sadak screaming “OH MY GOODNESS! DESTROYED!”
Rightfully so. This is the same Hinds who hit one 494 feet in the minors, as you can watch below:

Hinds has serious power. He has hit 10 balls > 400 ft including this 494 ft blast. pic.twitter.com/Uu7DxHXOCP
