Yoan Moncada is starting to deliver on his promise — but the White Sox third baseman is far from satisfied: 'I'm still a young player. I still can get better.'
CHICAGO â The White Sox trailed by a run in the 10th inning of the second game of a July 3 doubleheader against the Tigers at Guaranteed Rate Field. They were down to their final two outs.
Yoan Moncada wasn't ready for the long day of baseball to end.
The 24-year-old third baseman took a big cut on the second pitch from Shane Greene. He missed.
He worked the count to 2-1, then blasted a 462-foot home run to right field to tie the game. The Sox won 9-6 in 12 innings.
The home run was Moncada's second of the game and 16th of the season - one shy of his 2018 total.
The power numbers are just one area
