St. Louis native Jake Burger of the White Sox slugged a three-run home run Tuesday that left his bat at 118.2mph, the hardest-hit homer in White Sox history since Statcast began tracking exit velocity in 2015.
Only eight players in the big leagues have hit a home run with a higher exit velocity in that time, and that list is a who's who of baseball's noted sluggers like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
Only one player, Matt Olson, has hit a home run harder this season.
Burger, who began his season at Triple-A Charlotte, has four homers in his last five games and five total home runs this season in just 28 at-bats.
