Statcast has become a hot topic in baseball, and it can track almost anything. Exact pitch velocities, more accurate distances, launch angles, spin rates, it’s enough to make someone’s head spin more than a Clayton Kershaw curveball. But one of the more fun statistics to track is exit velocities, so I went back and found the 10 hardest-hit balls of the past season by the San Francisco Giants (plus a couple of honorable mentions).

Honorable Mention #1 – Postseason: Denard Span (October 11th)
Exit velocity of 108.
