Yeah, that ball was absolutely tanked. Chavis drilled that fastball 451 feet, a tape measure shot off the 23-year-old's bat. It is Chavis' seventh home run of the year already in just his 21st game.
Chavis has given the Red Sox necessary depth on the infield, and as exemplified by that explosion off his bat, some unexpected power in their lineup as well.
