Ronny Mauricio showcased his power during the Mets' 8-1 victory over the Rockies by hitting a 456-foot home run on a hanging knuckle-curveball from German Marquez. This marked his first home run of the season, occurring shortly after his call-up from Triple-A due to teammate Mark Vientos' injury. Returning from ACL surgery, Mauricio has demonstrated not only improved strength but also commendable plate discipline, evidenced by a recent 3-for-5 performance after struggling in his initial at-bats. His play indicates a promising future in the major leagues.
Pretty impressive, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of Mauricio's power display. That's the first time I've seen somebody going [up] there.
Mauricio himself had just returned to full health after recovering from ACL surgery two winters ago.
For as awe-inspiring as the power is, the most glaring aspect of Mauricio's offensive game is his plate discipline.
As soon as he hit it, I was like, Damn, that's going a long ways,' Mets star shortstop Francisco Lindor said.
