"Gurriel crushed a 103.9 mph fastball from Miller into the left-field seats for a two-run homer in the eighth inning, tying the score at 5-all. It was the hardest-hit pitch for a homer since MLB started pitch tracking in 2008."

I get that is straight gas, but it's also straight.  A 100 mph with a slight rise is a swing and a miss or a pop up/foul at worst.  These hitters are too good.  Wonder what O'Neill Cruz does with that pitch.

It might have been the fastest pitch hit for an HR, but hardest hit, by definition, is determined by exit velocity.  And we've seen plenty of HRs well over 107.1 EV.

I may be misunderstanding you, but what I was suggesting was that a little less velocity and more movement (presumably upwards) doesn’t result in a home run there. Of course these guys are good enough hitters that 3-4 mph slower might be enough time to adjust the bat position.

Yeah you're right, a few of O'Neil Cruz's homers were at 120+ EV. I think what they meant is that it was the fastest pitch hit for a homer.

I dont know if this is a record or not but...

The Rockies have allowed an opposing player to have 6 RBI three games in a row.  (Horowitz, Bichette, and Varsho)

They've allowed a 5+ RBI game 5 games in a row.
