The Pittsburgh Pirates 9th ranked prospect, Esmerlyn Valdez , lined an opposite-field two-run home run in the top of the sixth inning.

Valdez was able to find the fan that caught the home run ball and traded an autographed bat and autographed ball for this keepsake that he will cherish for the rest of his life. #mlb #baseball #pittsburghpirates #homerun #esmerlynvaldez
