The homer stats, according to Would it Dong? on Twitter, are as follows: This is how it looked when it came out: It was going 113.4 mph. It had a 29-degree launch angle and was going to go 458 feet.
We’re going to use the term “majestic” to describe Correa’s home run.
While Correa’s contract puts the Twins at risk of losing him after one season, Minnesota couldn’t afford to pass on even one year of one of baseball’s best shortstops. Suddenly, the Twins could be a dark horse in the AL Central, especially given the White Sox’s injury woes to begin the season.
When you factor in the unknown Detroit Tigers, as well as the supposedly lowly Guardians and Royals, the Twins could be in for a fight.
