There was absolutely no chance that ball was staying within the confines of the ballpark.

Guerrero Jr. has been enjoying a lot of success since being called up to Buffalo. Heading into Wednesday’s game, the 19-year old had produced a batting average of .389, while also adding eight walks.
This is the type of news Toronto Blue Jays’ fans want to hear. With the team now sitting far out of playoff contention, and eyes focused firmly on the future, the success the young third-baseman has in Triple-A will show exactly how ready Guerrero Jr. is. for the big leagues.
But in the meantime, the people of Western New York will continue to enjoy watching his talents in person.
