The Hardest Hits Of The 2026 Season! 😮‍💨🔥 (Ft. De La Cruz, Schwarber & More!)

And that one is walloped by De La Cruz, a far more balanced right-handed hitter. At what point are teams going to stop doing that? I mean, I think if you're the Reds, you welcome it, because he's shown great balance and ability right-handed. The numbers overall would suggest you bring in a left-hander to face De La Cruz and switch him around to the right side. The payoff pitch. Hit well out to center. Garrett Mitchell into the right center field gap. He'll have to play it off the wall. James Wood hustling in the second and another screamer off of his bat. This guy is red hot. And just say it, Dan, another ball at 116. Check the wall. Outlet is drilled to left field, and it is over the head of Hernandez and off the wall. He just hit it too hard. Ball goes in the second, and Rice has to stop at third. Just get a little bit more air under it. And what a really good at bat. A 3-2 count. He hits this ball so hard. Bounces right back to the left field to Hernandez, and he comes up. He's smart. He throws it right to second. Look at the dent in the wall. Yeah. Oh, so close to doing more damage, and here's some damage done on a ball that's absolutely lambasted by Kobe Mayo. Mayo wasting no time at all. How about 117 off the bat? Word. Short base hit. Scores. Rodriguez roaring home. 2-2. A two-run double, and the Reds take an 8-6 lead. Well, back and forth they go again. Another great swing by Elly De La Cruz. About 116 and a half off the bat. He is doing this consistently for like three weeks now. Yeah, he's in a really good spot. And that one driven down the line. Second deck. Oh, my. Well, we're rounded up to 117 off the bat. That's Jordan Walker with a two iron into the second deck. Second deck, and a fan lost his or her cap trying to make that play. It was hit so hard. That's crushed and fair down the line. Marte will head for second. Freeman's on it, and Cattell has a double. Uh-huh. Wow. A hundred and six. 117 miles an hour off the bat of Cattell Marte. The pitch. Swung on, crushed down the right field line. That'll be in for a base hit. Off the base of the wall. Schwarber's around first. He's headed for second. It's another double, and it's a four-nothing Phillies lead here on the bottom of the second. How about it? Man, I feel bad for that right field fence because that ball was absolutely smoked. What a short swing. One hundred and six. 116.8 mile per hour exit velocity. My goodness. And that ball is absolutely muscled out to left. Skidding along the turf. A blister by Cabanero. A hundred and seven. 117. Listen to this. Yes. 2-0 count, sitting heater, got a heater pretty much right in the heart of the plate. Now up 4-0. I don't know. Adell reached on an error first time up. It was a smash to third. This one's hit a ton. Deep left field. Headed to the upper deck. Gone for Joe Adell. An absolute moonshot makes it 2-0 Cleveland. His 21st home run of the season and RBI number 87. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my. All right. That ball was absolutely clobbered. Schumacher trying to get that ground ball. Drive to right field if it's fair. It's way gone. It hits the top of the foul pole. That's a cruise missile. A blast here in Texas. Oh, brother. Number seven. Under 22 feet. A missile. An 8-4 Pirates lead in Texas. Boy, is that a rip to left. I mean. That's a screamer of a single for Junior Caminero. That ball was was absolutely blistered boy just a flat pitch out over the heart of the plate and that could have very easily been pounded out of here. That's a hot shot base hit into left center field Mitchell over to make the pickup and Caminero holds after making a little turn. I mean right at the top of the zone but middle of the plate and he absolutely smokes it. Wow. One sixteen point nine sounded like it. Boy, without being held on to, he is in a sprinter spot. Fine drive and a base hit to left, sharply hit. And the bases are going to be loaded. Sanchez charged that ball, hard hit to begin with. 116.9. Well, you knew that. That ball got out to left field. You could barely move up 90 feet. He hit this ball hard enough. You were thinking if you don't get a great read at second base, you get a forced play at third. And he makes some contact and there's your first hit on the ground and a missile between Abrams and House. There goes the perfecto, there goes the no-hitter, and there's a start in the St. Louis cycle. Another hard hit ball, this is 117.2 off the bat here from Jordan Walker, one of the hardest hit balls of all season for Jordan. Knuckle, curve, Chevy, pitch, track, catches the middle of the zone and he rushes this thing. Line fair inside the line and Bobby Wood Jr. has his first hit since coming back from the six game layoff. He's at second base with one out. One for the hit down the line but two watching him around first base going hard in the second base apparently feeling just fine. Or an elbow issue. Surgery in general. That's a fair ball, threaded inside the chalk. De La Cruz sprinting up to second, gathered by Frelick in right. A standing double for Ellie De La Cruz. This man is locked in two more doubles today. He killed that pitch. And in most circumstances, that's a triple all day, every day for Ellie. It was 117 off the bat. That's like extreme hard hit. I drive to right center field. Clear the deck. Missile coming. A no-doubter! Elly De La Cruz sends one into the south side air. That is his 18th, and it's 1-0 Bucs in the fourth. That's what you do right there with a changeup, elevated a little bit. And, Brandon, we were talking about Elly yesterday and his swing, kind of the swing intensity. That just looks smooth and effortless. That ball smashed to center and he'll have to settle for just a hit to the wall. Yordan's going to go to second. Another extra base hit for Yordan. Now leads the team in that category as well with his seventh double. Best hitter in the game right now. He is red hot. 96 down the middle is not doing it. The last time you did that, he took it 421 feet to center. This time you're just lucky you hit it at a 13-degree launch angle. They tried to hit it through the wall on a hop at 117.8 off the bat. 117.8. He hit that six miles an hour, eight miles an hour harder. Total number of splash hits is up to 109. That ball smashed into right field. Jordan with a line single. It's another baseball in a scalding manner against Blake Tidwell. Did that base hit by Yordan sound loud, Julian? Well, I had to throw my computer at you to show you the number because it was a large number at 118.5 off the bat. Ooh, 118.5. Yes. Jung-Hoo Lee was looking at Rafael Devers and thinking, maybe we have a play at first that was hit that hard. That is the hardest hit baseball of the season for Yordan Alvarez. Individual-type strike zone. Line drive, right field, and that gets down in a hurry. O'Neal crows into second base. 119 miles an hour. The double gets the Bucs on the board. The baseball, it almost looks like the first bounce, like it picks up speed. It accelerates past the outfielder. Man.
