VIDEO: Adam Duvall Sets Braves' Triple-A Single-Season Home Run Record With Mammoth Blast
By Parker White
Former Cincinnati Reds All-Star outfielder Adam Duvall was acquired by the Atlanta Braves last year in hopes he would add depth and be a dangerous bat off the bench. That didn't happen and he's been at Triple-A all season where he's destroyed the baseball, including Wednesday where he crushed his 29th home run of the season.

That went an estimated 490 feet?! I'd say he got all of that one.
With his 29th bomb at Gwinnett, Duvall set the franchise's new single-season home run record and he did it only 92 games.
Should Adam Duvall get a chance in the #Braves OF either as a fill in for Riley or a platoon with Markakis??

It makes you wonder if Duvall has any chance of being called up to the big league roster, even if it's a platoon role with Austin Riley or Nick Markakis. He proved that he doesn't make much of an impact as a pinch-hitter, but he still has light tower power that can help this team.
Does he have any trade value heading into the deadline next week?
