VIDEO: Astros Top Prospect Yordan Alvarez Crushes Laser Home Run in MLB Debut
By Jerry Trotta
Houston Astros fans, ever-aware of Yordan Alvarez's star potential, have been demanding the 21-year-old's promotion from Triple-A for the better part of a month. Well, the club (finally) fulfilled their wishes on Saturday and gave Alvarez the start on Sunday against the Orioles. As top prospects love to do, Yordan rewarded their faith in a BIG way, as he clubbed a missile of a moonshot to left-center field for his first career big fly.

Talk about raw power.
Just look at how effortless that swing is! The youngster almost nonchalantly launched that ball out of Minute Maid Park.
We'll go out on a limb and say he'll fit in just fine with Houston's star-studded roster.
