The pitch was a 74.7 mph curveball from Cubs pitcher Jose Quintana.

Unfortunately for Quintana, the path of the ball was right in the perfect spot for Royals infielder Adalberto Mondesi to hit the ball a long, long way.

And that’s what he did Wednesday night during the Royals’ 9-0 win over the Cubs.

Mondesi hit a three-run homer into the water in left-center field at Kauffman Stadium and the ball traveled an estimated 437 feet. The exit velocity was 106 mph.
