CHICAGO - Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong thought it was "cool" hitting the furthest pitch from the strike zone for a home run in MLB this season.
The high fastball, from Pittsburgh Pirates starter Andrew Heaney in the fourth inning on Thursday night, measured 8.1 inches above the edge of the strike zone, the furthest pitch outside the zone hit for a homer this year, according to ESPN Research.
Crow-Armstrong crushed it out to right field to break a scoreless tie.
"I'm just committing to being on time for it," he said after the Cubs 3-2 win.
