Avi Garcia’s season last year was known more for his .333 average and consistent contact rate as opposed to him slugging home runs. In fact, he only had 18. Well, so far this year he is off to another solid start. Tonight he his his first home run of the year. You could say it went decently far.

If he keeps hitting bombs like these, it’s safe to say he will surpass his total from last year.
