By Sean Facey
Yoan Moncada has blossomed into the star that the White Sox expected him to be when they shipped out Chris Sale to the Red Sox. The 24-year-old Cuban slugger ripped a three-run blast in the fifth inning against the Miami Marlins to push Chicago's lead up to 7-1.

The blast, which was his 18th of the year and traveled 410 feet, was almost as majestic as the absolutely savage bat drop.
It's just the latest highlight from a stellar, breakout season for Moncada that has White Sox fans excited for next year and the years beyond in the South Side of Chicago.
