In his first game back from the Paternity List, Red Sox shortstop Yu Chang smashed a 109.7 mph home run over the Green Monster.
The 27-year-old missed Boston’s game on Wednesday due to the birth of his daughter, and he returned with some serious pop in the team’s 11-5 win over the Twins Thursday.
Not only did he hit the hardest home run of his career, he also had two other batted balls over 90 mph. Both wounded up as outs, but the exit velocities were 92.9 and 103.7.
Prior to Thursday, just three of Chang’s batted balls this season were over 100 mph.
