Carlos Santana was one of the hardest-hitting players in baseball last season

Here’s the world’s most obvious baseball fun fact: Carlos Santana hits baseballs really hard. So hard, sometimes, that he becomes a dead-pull hitter and hurts his own offensive production. But for the most part, Santana is a player that hits the baseball hard enough to rack up 30 home runs in a season.

Daren Willman, director of baseball research and development for MLB.com, recently tweeted out something that should be particularly interesting to Cleveland Indians fans.

Most batted balls 100 MPH+ last season:
