Last night, the Guardians shut out the Reds 3-0. And, Austin Hedges hit a home run at 106.4 mph. His maximum exit velocity in 2024 was 103.2 mph and his average was 84 mph. 60 wRC+ season incoming, folks.
Carlos Santana and Will Brennan joined Hedges atop the exit velocity leaderboard for the game last night, Santana hitting a two-run double to score both Steven Kwan and Lane Thomas. There was excellent pitching from Tanner Bibee who allowed one hit and one walk in six scoreless innings, striking out four, and Joey Cantillo who went two scoreless with a walk and two K’s.
