Votto wallops homer on first pitch of Louisville return
No matter what uniform he’s wearing, Joey Votto is still doing Joey Votto things. The long-standing Reds’ first baseman is starting 2023 with Triple-A Louisville as he recovers from injuries to his left bicep and left rotator cuff. On the very first pitch he saw Saturday, he sent it flying
No matter what uniform he’s wearing, Joey Votto is still doing Joey Votto things.
The long-standing Reds’ first baseman is starting 2023 with Triple-A Louisville as he recovers from injuries to his left bicep and left rotator cuff. On the very first pitch he saw Saturday, he sent it flying out of the yard.
Votto's home run traveled 448 feet at 107.9 mph off the bat at Nashville’s First Horizon Park, his longest dinger since he cranked one 466 feet in September 2021. The 39-year-old has begun the year with Louisville in an attempt to get up to game speed.
To everyone that didn’t say Votto: how dare you. https://t.co/gk3Bwvlgre
