I know Kjerstad has power, but that ball was hit 336 feet lol. We're all like, MOONSHOT!

Well, it was off the end of the bat. Imagine if he’d really gotten ahold of it.

Yeah,  only a HR in Houston.  The wall kinda fools ya about how far it is,  or isn't,  hit.

Surprising the measurement on the Kjerstad homer.  Seemed like he got it a little better than that. 

It is a short porch in Left field.  Mountcastle might hit 50 if he played in this park.

Yeah, this is the only park in MLB that's a HR in.

It seemed like he got it better than that. Not sure I trust the measurement.  Not saying he hit it 400, but 336 seems off. When he hit it, I felt like it had a good shot to go out.

That is a pop up in Camden Yards.

Crush could still be playing if he played for the Astros.

It's just this ballpark. Plays weird out there.

I think Mayo has the most raw power in the organization but Kjerstad has got to be top 3-4

Don’t forget about Basallo.

Kjerstadt is so much better than Cowser!

Yeah but Cowser will be fine also.  In spring training this year he hit a ball 471 feet.   I think he is going to be fine also.

I will say Houston pitching, particularly their bullpen is not nearly as intimidating as years past. I like our odds against them if we meet them in the ALCS

[Mooreisbetter27]

Did they say distance on Hays hr?

Left fielder would take 3 steps in.

Yup. I was thinking Kjerstad Mayo Gunnar and Basallo in no particular order.
