WOW!
This has to be one of the quickest home runs ever hit. Kyle Schwarber crushed a rocket that was measured at 117 mph off the bat in the second inning against the Cleveland Indians.
Look at this trajectory.

It’s the hardest hit ball by any Cubs player since 2015.
That got out in a hurry!
This 117.1 mph 🚀 from @kschwarb12 is the hardest batted ball any @Cubs hitter has produced since #Statcast began tracking in 2015. pic.twitter.com/QwBxSDeC1a
