Trevor Laranach appears to be in midseason form as the Minnesota Twins outfielder launched a massive home run over the batter's eye during Saturday's spring training game against the Atlanta Braves.

Larnach's blast came in the bottom of the second inning when he took a fastball from Kyle Wright and smashed it to dead center field to put the Twins on the board.

While Statcast could not calculate how far Larnach's homer traveled, long bombs are nothing new for the Twins' 2018 first-round pick, who placed in the 85th percentile in max exit velocity in 2022 and in the 97th percentile in 2021.

The 26-year-old also hit .231/.306/.406 with five homers and 18 RBI in 51 games last season but was hitting .299/.375/.516 with three homers in 32 games prior to June 1.

Ability hasn't been a question for Larnach as much as it has been staying on the field. Larnach underwent surgery on June 27 to repair a core muscle injury and suffered a setback as he tried to return later in the year.

Larnach appears to be a lock to be in Minnesota's Opening Day lineup March 30 at Kansas City.
