Over the weekend, Mike Petriello of MLB.com used Statcast data to compile the most extreme home runs hit league-wide in 2018. Who hit the highest pitch for a home run? The lowest? Fastest? Slowest? It was a fun way of looking at that part of the dinger data and I thought it would be even more fun by way of being more aggravating to apply the same scope to the few home runs hit by the Giants in 2018.
So, this won’t be just about the fastest pitch hit out this season, but all the other kinds mentioned above.
