There are home runs, and then there are home runs. Yoenis Cespedes showed us what the latter looks like.
Cespedes clobbered a 3-run home run to tie the New York Mets-St Louis Cardinals game on Tuesday at 4. He took starter Luke Weaver deep to Big Mac Land at Busch Stadium and just pulverized the ball.
For one night, 'Big Mac Land' becomes 'Big Yo Land'!
This 115.1 mph, 463-foot moonshot by @ynscspds is now the hardest-hit and longest HR by a @mets player since #statcast launched in 2015. pic.twitter.com/40El3MaSMW

That ball was hit 115.1 mph and traveled 463 feet, according to Statcast, which measures advanced stats. The bomb by Cespedes was the hardest and farthest homer hit by a Met since Statcast began in 2015. Based on how much that ball was crushed, I sure wouldn’t dispute that claim.
