That's a hit worth admiring.
Few MLB players have a more powerful swing than Devers, and he put all of his power into this one: His blast had an exit velocity of 113.7 mph, per MLB.com's Ian Browne.
The 24-year-old now now has 63 RBIs on the season, one behind Toronto Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the MLB lead. Devers is a virtual lock to make his first career MLB All-Star Game and is living up to his potential as one of the game's best third basemen.
