PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates' Oneil Cruz had the hardest-hit ball since Statcast started tracking in 2015, a home run off the Brewers' Logan Henderson on Sunday that left the bat at 122.9 mph and splashed into the Allegheny River.
Cruz's leadoff drive to right in the third inning on a 92.2 mph fastball traveled 432 feet and cut the Pirates' deficit to 3-1 in a 6-5 loss.
"I connected really well. It feels even better just to know that it's the hardest-hit ball in the history of Statcast," Cruz said through an interpreter.
