Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Michael Busch has been chasing his first big-league home run for a bit, but he has finally done it. Busch went deep to center field in his 17th game as a major league player. He took a hanging curveball from the hand of Gavin Williams for his first career home run. It was a solo shot that put the Dodgers ahead of the Cleveland Guardians by a score of 3-2.

Busch could not contain himself. He was seen smiling ear to ear after he hit the blast. It traveled 401 feet and came off the bat at 99.1 MPH.

This will be the first home run of many to come for this slugging prospect. His sweet left-handed approach plays well at this level.
