Former Missouri OF Kameron Misner was the No. 35 overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, going to the Miami Marlins.
Now, he’s playing for the Clinton LumberKings in Clinton, Iowa — the Marlins’ Class A affiliate. On Tuesday, he launched his first pro home run.
As you can see below, Misner turned on an inside pitch and pulled it down the right-field line for a three-run homer, bouncing it off the foul pole:

That was Misner’s first game for the LumberKings, so he’s certainly off to a fast start at the Class A level.
