VIDEO: Yasiel Puig Pulverizes Homer Off Yu Darvish That Leaves Wrigley Field
By Karl Rasmussen
Yasiel Puig hasn't gotten off to a great start since joining the Cincinnati Reds, but if one thing is clear, the power is certainly still there. Need an example? Take a look at this home run he hit off of Yu Darvish on Saturday. Puig absolutely annihilated this ball, hitting it so far that it left the stadium altogether!
Some lucky Chicago native may have just stumbled into a souvenir from a ball game they didn't even attend!
While the wind certainly played a factor in the ball's trajectory, it was still an awfully impressive piece of hitting. The ball was flying off the bat, with Statcast tracking to have traveled at 109 mph and a distance of 415 feet.
