It only took Nick Madrigal 13 games to hit his first Triple-A homer. It took him 31 games to notch his first homer in Double-A, and 32 games for Winston-Salem, so this is more proof that the ball is flying, right?
Well, because Madrigal zigs when everybody zags, his first homer was of the inside-the-park variety.
