WATCH: Joey Gallo hits home run so far his Rangers teammates can't believe it
Gallo, as we already knew, can hit the ball far, but this is something else
Rangers 23-year-old infielder Joey Gallo entered Tuesday night's game batting just .197. However, he also entered Tuesday night's game with a .512 slugging percentage and 25 homers in 95 games. That is to say, he's not a threat to win the batting title, but young Gallo is indeed a threat to win the home run title.
He hits a lot of home runs, yes, and he also hits them quite far. "Light-tower power" is what they say about guys like Gallo. For a towering example of his power capabilities, please witness what he did to a cowhide orb against the Mariners on Tuesday night ...

Yes, Elvis Andrus, we too are amazed by what we have witnessed. You see a lot of balls land on the grass beyond center in Arlington, but over the grass? That doesn't happen often. Digits forthcoming ...
Statcast says 456 feet on the Joey Gallo homer. I think Statcast needs to be rebooted.
