Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz smacked the hardest-hit ball in MLB Statcast history (dating back to 2015) when he launched a 122.9 mph home run in the third inning of his team's home matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are slogging through a difficult 2025 season, going into Sunday's MLB slate with a 19-34 record. Only the Colorado Rockies (9-43) are worse among the 15 National League teams.

Pittsburgh’s Oneil Cruz had the hardest-hit ball since Statcast started tracking in 2015, a home run off Milwaukee’s Logan Henderson that left the bat at 122.9 mph and splashed into the Allegheny River.
