The Cleveland Guardians have plenty of promising players in their farm system.
While everybody’s caught up with Chase DeLauter and Travis Bazzana – and rightfully so – other young men are also making a strong impression.
Notably, that includes 23-year-old infielder Milan Tolentino.
As shown by Guardians Prospective on X, he completely torched a 427-foot two-run homer in the fourth inning that went 105.0 mph off his bat.
Tolentino with two HR's tonight now has a new career high in XBH with 35. He already long surpassed high career high in HR's now with 18.
2025 – 35 XBH / 89 games
2022 – 34 XBH / 113 games2025 – 18 HR / 89 games
2024 – 9 HR / 111 games https://t.co/mxDoy7mhsb— Guardians Prospective (@CleGuardPro) August 3, 2025
It was his second two-run homer of the game.
More importantly, his two-home run outing gave him 35 extra-base hits for the season, which is a new career high for him.
He’s also posted a new career-high in home runs (18) this season.
Per Guardians Prospective, his previous career high came in 2022 when he logged 34 extra-base hits in 113 games, so he still has a chance to keep adding more to his tally.
He’s now hit twice as many home runs as he hit when he posted his previous career high last season, when he had nine home runs in 111 games.
Tolentino has flown under the radar when compared to other prospects, and it might be a little longer before we see him in the majors, especially given his position.
But with this team looking to get cheaper and younger, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see him in the mix to get a roster spot or at least a spring training invitation for next season.
The Guardians’ farm system is the gift that keeps on giving, and it’ll be interesting to continue watching his development.
