Yordan Alvarez is not impressed by the Oakland Athletics' recent acquisition, Homer Bailey. The Houston Astros rookie slugger ripped his 11th major league home run off to stake his team to an early second-inning lead over the Athletics.

The home run was an absolute missile, traveling 410 feet at a scorching 103.2 mph off of the bat.
Alvarez has been nothing short of brilliant since the Astros called him up back in June. He entered the day slashing .333/.406/.675, and his average exit velocity of 92.9 mph ranks 12th among 478 batters with at least 25 batted ball events.
