If you need proof, just check out this home run Mark Trumbo blasted for the Baltimore Orioles off of a high delivery from Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez.

You often see little leaguers swing at pitches this high, but MLB-level hitters generally have a more discerning eye at the plate.
For some reason Trumbo just couldn’t lay off this high heat, and his teammates have to be happy in hindsight.
