That is some serious power for Huff, who ranks as the No. 2 prospect in the Rangers’ farm system. Unfortunately for Frisco, they ended up losing the game by the score of 9-4.
Through 19 games with Double-A this season, Huff is slashing .211/.259/.368 while recording four home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and 16 hits. The catching prospect did have a 10-game stint at the major league level last season, where he recorded a .355 batting average, a 1.136 OPS, three home runs, four RBI, five runs scored and 11 hits.
After this mammoth home run, all eyes will be on Huff and his eventually call up to the majors.
