Carlos Correa sent his latest home run out of the stadium
Make some room Giancarlo Stanton, Carlos Correa is also capable of crushing baseballs clear out of the stadium.
The Houston Astros’ top prospect, and the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball depending on who you ask, hit his latest home run for Triple-A Fresno on Tuesday and it was a no-doubter. Correa turned on a 0-1 pitch in the first inning against the Memphis Redbirds and sent it so deep to left field that the ball landed on a building across the street from Fresno’s Chukchansi Park.

After spending the first month of the season in Double-A and absolutely dominating Texas League pitching, the 20-year-old Correa now has a .853 OPS in 14 games in Triple-A with three home runs and four doubles.
It sure doesn’t look like it will be long before he joins the first-place Astros and takes over as the starting shortstop. Watch out Crawford Boxes, you’ve been warned: Correa is coming soon and his power is the real deal.
