Pirates megastar player, O’Neil Cruz has done it once again. He belted the ball with a speed that left the spectators at PNC Park awestruck. The man has already hit the hardest hit of the Statcast era of 122.4mph. 

Cruz made his debut in the Major Leagues only last year. With every match that the young player is playing, he is proving his worth with every hit.

Cruz is named after the Yankees star player Paul O’Neil. There is no denying that the 23-year-old player will soon be breaking many records set by the greatest baseball players in history.

Where did O’Neil Cruz hit the ball?

Cruz hit the ball with a speed of 113.4 mph and sent it to Allegheny County. That’s right, he hit the ball with so much power that it went straight out of the ballpark.

The shortstop is displaying his power to the MLB world, that he is here to stay and break records. 

However, this was not the first and not even the second time where he hit the ball with such strength.

Teams are adding new players to their rosters, and a player like O’Neil Cruz is proving from the first match itself that the team made the right decision calling him up from the Minors.
