D-backs' Tommy Troy Hits 1st Career Homer in Big Moment vs Dodgers

The first of hopefully many to come for the Diamondbacks' No. 4 prospect.

One of the Arizona Diamondbacks' young outfielders recorded his first major league home run on Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers — and it wasn't Ryan Waldschmidt.

Left fielder Tommy Troy, who was the Diamondbacks' No. 4 prospect coming into the 2026 season, got a prime opportunity on a center-cut fastball from Dodgers right-hander Emmett Sheehan, and he didn't miss.

Troy took a confident, fences-focused swing, and sent the ball 392 feet deep to left field. It traveled a scorching 102.7 MPH off the bat to tie the game at 1-1 in the sixth inning, scoring Arizona's first run of the four-game series.

Diamondbacks' Tommy Troy smashes first career homer

Troy, after his home run, raised his already-solid season slash line to .286/.375/.524. He's recorded two doubles and three walks, as well.

Granted, it's been only 24 major league plate appearances for the 24-year-old out of Stanford. But thus far, he's displayed a quality approach, and is clearly capable of making more than solid contact against major league hitting.

Troy was the Diamondbacks' first-round draft pick in the 2023 MLB Draft — serving as the 12th overall pick. He was first called up to the majors on May 23, initially as a pure replacement for left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. who is currently on the Injured List with a hamstring injury.

Troy hit to a .307/.397/.449 line in Triple-A Reno — certainly an impressive set of numbers, even considering how offense-friendly the Pacific Coast League may be. Though struggles may be on the way as major league pitching makes adjustments to the young hitter, there's certainly a potential for Troy to become a regular contributor.

"He became very athletic," manager Torey Lovullo said of Troy, speaking to D-backs pregame radio host Steve Zinsmeister. "I think he toned up his body a little bit. ... I loved his movements."

Troy is athletic enough to provide value with his legs — both offensively and defensively — without sacrificing too much in the power department. The Diamondbacks have made a notable dedication to their young hitters of late, and it's a positive sign to see prospects like Troy and Waldschmidt make an impact at the big league level quickly.

That's been a calling-card of Arizona's organization through the years: seeing quick returns on high-drafted hitters. The Diamondbacks are going to need more of that type of offense from Troy and co. if they want to take down the Dodgers this week. But that's a start.
