VIDEO: Miguel Sano Crushes Unreal 482-Foot Bomb to Power Twins Into the All-Time MLB Record Books
By Chris Pyo
It's been widely acknowledged that there's definitely something going on with the quality of MLB baseballs, whether it be that the balls are lighter or that they're just plain juiced. This has never been more evident than with this Miguel Sano blast right here, which gave the 2019 Minnesota Twins a very special all-time record.

That might just be the loudest crack of the bat I've ever heard.
482 feet, people. Four-eight-two.
Miguel Sanó puts the #MNTwins in the record books with a lot of flair. His 3-run homer landed in the top deck out beyond the bullpen to give him 30 homers, a 482-foot shot. He's the 5th Twins player to reach 30 homers this season, a new MLB record.

With that home run, the Minnesota Twins became the first team in MLB history to have five different players with over 30 home runs in a single season.
The other Twins players to reach the mark are Nelson Cruz, Max Kepler, Eddie Rosario, and Mitch Garver. Perhaps these aren't the players anyone would have expected to break this particular record, but they've made it into the history books together. And nobody is in any kind of rush to take them on in the postseason.
