Michael Harris II's 94 mph laser. I've watched this a few times, amazed at how he adjusted his body on the run.

Michael Harris II had reason to be even more frustrated than Ronald. Harris' 396-foot flyout had a 108.5 mph exit velo and 27 degree launch angle. 97.1% (33 of 34 of balls hit w/ combo of 109 mph/27 degrees were homers last year. 97.4% (37 of 38) w/ combo of 108/27 were HRs.

Martin Perez exits after his left forearm was hit by this Soto liner to begin the fifth. Ended up retiring the last nine batters he faced. Retired just two of the first 11 he faced.

Martin Perez stayed in the game after getting hit in the left leg by this comebacker. He's got to hope it doesn't tighten up like Max Fried's leg/backside did after he was hit here at Atlanta's House of Horrors during the 2024 Wild Card Series.

This might have been exactly what Riley needed. Turned on a 98.5 inside fastball. He then swiped second and is now just 13 away from 15. If you remember Harris is the one who predicted 20.

This 104.9 mph throw from Acuña matches Oneil Cruz for the second-hardest throw from an outfielder this season. Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle had a throw clocked at 107.3 mph.

Nacho Alvarez is working out with the catchers. Whether changing positions or simply adding versatility, this makes a lot of sense

Don't let this triple fool you. Drake Baldwin offers a lot more than speed. I'll post the video of his eighth-inning homer in a second. Nobody is consistently hitting the ball harder than the reigning NL Rookie of the Year

This was the first sign of Acuña showing discomfort. Witt singled on the next pitch and Pasquantino followed with the double that Acuña tried to grab in right-center. He jogged off the field. Looks like it was just a wise precautionary exit.
