It may be spring training, but long home runs are always fun to admire.

Daniel Vogelbach did just that when he hit an absolute nuke off defending AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole.

In Cole's first start of spring training, he faced the Toronto Blue Jays under the lights, and Vogelbach, the fourth batter Cole faced, got the best of him.

On a 2-1 count, the big lefty tanked one off the New York Yankees ace well beyond the right-field fence, giving the Blue Jays a 2-0 first inning lead. But the Yanks got the last laugh with an 8-4 win.

Vogelbach dropped the bat with some swagger and admired his bomb, walking out of the batter's box before a nice slow jog.

Vogelbach took his time trotting around the bases, which Cole took personally.

"Yeah, what’s the day? Are we still in February? March 1? Yeah, he enjoyed that homer," Cole said after his outing.

"I don’t forget a lot of things."

The 6-foot, 270-pound Vogelbach isn't exactly fleet of foot. His sprint speed ranked in the bottom 2% of the majors, and only nine players were slower last year than Vogelbach, who's known as Danny Burgers on social media.
