All offseason long, we've been eagerly looking forward to the second year of Statcast™ in order to validate what we learned from the first year and see what sort of exciting applications we can put the data towards in year two. But let's be honest: We mostly want to see records fall. We want to see someone hit harder than Giancarlo Stanton, and throw harder than Aroldis Chapman, if that's even possible.
Turns out, we did see a Statcast™ record fall on Sunday, even if it wasn't immediately as obvious as someone hitting a ball harder than Stanton does or longer than Kris Bryant did.
