Yep, that's his first at-bat in AA and, yep, that was out of the park (Photo via NW Arkansas Naturals Twitter).
↵He wasn't doing too shabby in A ball either.
↵↵Hosmer also leads the Carolina League in doubles (29), on-base percentage (.429) and extra-base hits (42). He had seven home runs and 51 RBIs in 87 games. Hosmer was drafted third overall in 2008.
