On the final night of April, Kyle Schwarber stepped to the plate in the bottom of the tenth. There was a runner on second (due to the somewhat new extra inning rule) and no one out. With the count at no balls and one strike, Schwarber received a 96 mph fastball right down the middle. He did not miss it. Schwarber sent the ball 454 feet, or as Dan Kolko said on the MASN broadcast of the game, “to the moon.”
