Ex-Asheville Tourist Trevor Story hit two homeruns off of Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke in his major league debut on Opening Day leading the Colorado Rockies to a 10-5 win in the season opener. Story hit the first pitch Greinke threw to him in the third inning for a three-run homer for his first major league hit and hit a monstrous solo homerun in the fourth inning that traveled well over 400 feet. The first homerun came off an outside fastball that Story took to the opposite field and the second homerun was on an inside breaking pitch that Story pulled into the left field stands.
That is a historical debut for a player that is only the #11 ranked prospect in the Rockies organization. Story hit these homeruns off major league veteran and former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke. Granted, there is probably not a "book" on how to pitch to Story yet but Story's power display was impressive nonetheless.
Another ex-Asheville Tourist I have been following this spring, Cristhian Adames, got into the game at second base but went hitless in three at bats.
