On Friday night in Seattle, Aaron Judge hit a mammoth blast that nearly left Safeco Field. The Yankees’ slugger hit the ball so freakin’ far that Statcast couldn’t even track it.
And one night later, Bryce Harper did the same thing in Arizona.
Harper sent an Anthony Banda offering to the Chase Field concourse in right-center field (over the swimming pool), and Statcast had no measurement for it:
Idk what this poor baseball did to Harper to make him so mad: pic.twitter.com/xSV2C88H3T

This was Banda’s MLB debut, and the left-hander got a rough lesson on what happens when you hang breaking balls to star hitters in the bigs. Of course, they usually don’t land that far away.
