Luis Lara’s first career homer pays homage to former Brewers outfielder now playing for the Cubs

Luis Lara, the 21-year-old Brewers right fielder, hit his first career home run during Milwaukee's 22-0 victory over Seattle, becoming only the second player in franchise history to accomplish this feat against a position player. Lara's blast came off a 37-mph eephus pitch thrown by Leo Rivas, traveling 372 feet with a 98.1 mph exit velocity and a 30-degree launch angle. The achievement mirrors Tyrone Taylor's first career homer in 2020, when the current Cubs outfielder homered off a Tigers position player.
