With a two-run rocket off Tampa Bay’s Chaz Roe in the ninth inning of Tuesday’s 6-3 loss to the Rays, Orioles catcher Chance Sisco further proved his increased power in 2019.
Sisco started out the game 0-for-3 against All-Star Charlie Morton, but the 107.4 mph laser was the hardest-hit ball of his young career, per Statcast, giving him five home runs in 49 at-bats in 2019 after hitting four in 178 at-bats across his first two years of big league opportunity.
The improved power hasn’t been too evident in exit velocity, with his 2019 average of 88.
