Reds minor leaguers longest homers of the week

We’ve actually gone two weeks since the last time this article ran. That gives us a much longer list of home runs to look at. The home runs we are looking at this week are for games between June 17th and June 30th. The Billings Mustangs and AZL Reds began their seasons in that time. I have been able to get some limited numbers from some home runs bit by Mustangs players. No one for the AZL Reds has homered yet this season, but we won’t be getting any information on those if and when they do unless I happen to make the trip out later this year to take in some games.

When we are looking at one week of home runs we only go with the top 10 longest home runs of the week, but with two weeks of information we are going to look at the Top 20 list:

Usually there’s some video from the MiLB Youtube channel, but they’ve really been slacking on adding video highlights from Reds minor league games over the last two weeks. That 420 foot home run by Gavin LaValley on June 26th tied for the 10th longest homer of the year in the system that we’ve got information on. Here’s the Top 10 on the season:
