In one swing, Marcell Ozuna stuns Marlins and creates perhaps the moment of the season for Braves

It was below the zone, but it didn’t matter.

Ozuna punished it for a 409-foot homer that became the difference in the game.

“Confidence,” Ozuna said of how he hit a pitch that low that far. “When you got your confidence, you’re going to see everything well and then you can hit better. If you don’t have any confidence, you’re going to be struggling. Like the first month of the year last year, I had (things) in my head. But right now, my mind is clear and I can do whatever God gives me to do.”

And Scott, who thought he should’ve thrown the slider more inside, said this: “He was taking big swings on every pitch. You try to get it to where he’s not going to hit it and I threw it to his honey hole, and he got it.”

And right now, that dude is sizzling. Ozuna leads MLB with 21 RBIs, and his seven homers are tied for first. He’s batting .373 with a 1.193 OPS.

And Sunday was another example of a commonly known fact: When Ozuna gets going, he’s unstoppable. He hits anything – even a pitch below the zone.

“Yeah, he can get anything, really,” Olson said. “Especially the stuff down there. He’s a good low-ball hitter, too.”

“He’s such a good hitter,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “When he gets going, when those guys get hot, that thing is awful slow for him.”

2. In the innings before Ozuna’s homer, the Braves saw a four-run lead turn into a two-run deficit. They faced the possibility of losing a series to the team with baseball’s second-worst record.

The Braves seemed frustrated after Saturday’s loss. Another defeat – and in the way it shaped up to be – would’ve been brutal.
