Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star pitcher Zack Greinke doesn't get many opportunities to flip his bat like teammate Yasiel Puig, one of the finest lumber tossers in baseball.

So when Greinke ripped his first home run of the season on Thursday at Philadelphia, a 390-foot shot to left-center field, he made it count. Take a look:

Coincidentally, the Aug. 3 issue of Sports Illustrated included a story on Greinke, who said he has always wanted to be a position player — a catcher or shortstop.
