Red Sox: Mookie Betts joins elite company with 100th HR

Mookie Betts got the Boston Red Sox off to a good start against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. He took starter Jason Hammel deep in his first at bat for his 100th career blast. It came off the bat at 102 MPH at 30 degrees and traveled 410 feet before it landed in the left-center field bleachers. The five tool superstar has hit 22 HR so far on the season, tying him for 6th in MLB.

It has been a career year for the young stud despite having a near MVP season in 2016.
