O’Neill Cruz is hitting absolute bullets! One for the record books!

[@CalvinHikes]

2 for the record books

[@Sami_melo25]

That pitch from doval was at 100mph and it got smack sheesh

[@SSNESS]

He needs a haircut

[@GoatedCmc]

Bro this guy💀

[@savagekidgameYt]

Let’s go BUCS

[@juancuelloespinosa]

He might spur a rule change that everyone in the infield needs a facemask like a catcher 😂

[@orlandoalmonte4875]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @juancuelloespinosa

[@peterlivengood553]

Amazing how effortless it looks!

[@SSNESS]

How about a haircut

[@ItzNixhOlass]

HE’S FIRING UP ON ALL CYLINDERS ON THAT BALL! WHAT A MAN FOR THE BUCCOS! HE MAKES IT LOOK TOO EASY!!

[@sebastien__l]

Elegant powerful swing. Calm as a cucumber. No childish celebration. I really like this guy.

[@sumandsubstance7881]

he is the strongest player in the game

[@TommyCruz-ec9xv]

Little bit more consistency out of him and he would be a super star

[@johannsmith5621]

It’s still Stanton but Cruz is just better at hitting the ball then Stanton, and his swing is way cleaner so he gets more power behind it

[@nahor88]

@@TommyCruz-ec9xv I miss when the Bucs had Jeff Bannister as the hitting coach. He was a hitting guru; played a big role in the development of Cutch, Marte and Pedro. He was working with Polanco, and he quickly fell into obscurity when Bannister left.

[@waschukd]

You could also make an argument for Vladdy Jr. He either hits the ball 110+ or strikes out it seems haha

[@hypnotical9892]

Not yet

[@goofball1_134]

wow, very impressive for all in 1 game.

[@bluefalcon3ID]

And and and...he throws the ball across the diamond at almost 100mph. Unbelievable talent. Don't blink

[@acosmictitan09]

One for the history books🎉

[@DaveTheTurd]

Truly awesome

[@DarthVexar]

This guy is insane!!

[@Skclaton]

Wow fast 💨

[@thug4life2005]

[@citydogpack]

In the last 5 years I’ve seen the freakiest things from MLB players since the McGwire, Sosa and Bonds days

[@abakella]

I see a lot of 120 MPH splash hits in his future!

[@coburnboeder2320]

Oppo 116 is unreal

[@HarleySpencer-hb8yi]

116 backside is crazy

[@DynamicUnreal]

He’s got the power. Now he has to work on getting his launch angle up slightly.

[@dPokey]

1:59 that noise is orgasmic

[@KTGaming_89]

I had a tingle

[@rmoultonrmoulton145]

We gotta get him, Elly, Stanton and Judge in the derby man. It would be so flipping fun to watch. Side note, need to get one or all of these dudes to hit with a USSSA bat for science.

[@CT99999]

It's a rocket!

[@infernoentertainment7351]

Swinging like the 🐐 josh Hamilton

[@dPokey]

special swing when he connects

[@allenchitwood493]

His swing reminds me of pro golfer Davis Love III that powers thru a driver off the tee.

[@quincyott]

HES HIM

[@yanderrodriguez9978]

Bro just obliterated that ball

[@paradiseproductions1313]

Pirates are back 🏴‍☠️

[@CT99999]

They are so back!

[@steven-eb8zw]

no views in 53 seconds is tragic

[@user-nj7oz4mc9q]

Three hits but not Luis matos 6 rbi day and a homer crazy

[@NotTheFbi911]

Imagine this guy and Elly de la Cruz in the same team

[@petermamon]

Where ya at Elly???

[@PawpiChoolo]

Bucs seem like a team that could make a run if they had a bit more consistency. Skenes, Bednar, Keller, Jones with dudes like Cruz, Hayes, damn

[@jeffmolina8607]

It should say since stat cast. I grew up going to the Oakland coliseum Big Mac would obliterate balls. Look up his highlights and just listen to the sound the bat makes

[@PeteTheRock2002]

If he can get under some of the pitches just a smidge... Alleghany River rides!

[@carlosm1836]

Baseballs are juiced this year.

THE Cruzs dominating baseball!

[@jibbo123]

Owns elly

[@Baseball3499]

Ahh only if it hit the pitcher 😂😂

[@MarioMartinez-ff5ph]

These analytics and how many mhp a ball comes off a bat is ridiculous, the swing angle has changed so that batters are trying to hit home runs all the time which leads to 150/170 strike outs per year for these fools, nobody has pride in hitting anymore, back in the day hitters were ashamed if they struck out more than 40/50 times per year

[@AngelJoseBurgosTejeda]

Fire O'Neal, Rd representa coñazo...

[@rrosomasa]

this guy is impressive!!! but did he have to do it against San Fran....? :/

[@markallshiuse960]

Pirates will trade him in few years for prospects 😢

[@CoachRJ334]

Skeens shows up and the Pirates can't lose

[@Nfl360]

He just has to priortize any kind of contact and eliminate a lot of the swing and miss. When he's hot, there's few better but when he's cold, he doesn't touch the ball and his at bats are very short lived.

[@dsiino925]

“In stat cast era”

[@humanperson7198]

since 2015 when motion tracking cameras were introduced into all 30 stadiums, but that’s a lot more syllables

[@filtrotp40]

This dude is a problem. Would love to see him against his teammate Skenes or the closer in Oakland.

[@Brett733]

116 to opposite field has to be a record. right?

[@Bathorypriest]

Lmaooooo bar is set way low if this is considered "history"

They can’t definitively stay he’s the only one to do this as exit velocity has only been tracked since the mid 2010s.

[@BearsRule777]

Next video: A player was the first to hit 3 balls with over a 3,415 spin rate! He was out 3 times, but thats never been done! Insane!!!@$%&^$#

[@kcaustin904]

And a .295 on base

[@chamathcooray2984]

He looks like a predator!

[@Madisonrvr]

Is there a more meaningless stat in all of sports than the velocity of a batted ball

[@frankvarela8520]

He's going to get paid when he becomes a free agent. Pirates won't be able to keep him. It's going to be a shame. Just watching him. He doesn't look like he's not having any fun.

[@jackkaczmarski]

Correction: Pirates DONT WANT TO PAY HIM. They’re able to but simply don’t want to, which is what has stung Pirates fans for the last two decades.

[@jasontwite3598]

Eager to see Pirates dump him at deadline.

[@Jbo12.]

They wont

[@bobthekking8032]

[@eddiegainz1673]

Most useless stat in all of professional sports!!!!

[@yoda9256]

the harder a ball is hit, the more likely it will be a hit… you don’t know ball lil bro

[@KenTrosper]

Three hits at 25 MPH count just the same.

[@moodfm5673]

if any of those hits were that slow he would of just been out, lol.

[@KenTrosper]

@@moodfm5673 Not necessarily. There are bunt single when they don't go that fast. A hit is a hit.

[@SluggerStark]

Ya ya....a muffin hit is still a hit. A fence scraper homerun is still a homerun. No kidding. The point of the video was to highlight how absurdly impressive it is to hit 3 balls 115+ mph in a single game. Because it is that; absurdly impressive.

[@johnc3351]

this stat is kinda dumb tbh. it's like 3 hits, who cares how hard it was?
