Daniel Norris was one of the primary pieces in the David Price trade earlier this year. Known for his lefty arm, Norris showed off his bat during batting practice today at Wrigley Field:

You can see the broken panel(s) in the Cubs’ latest tweet, too (enlarge the picture on the right):

At least Norris was apologetic for his herculean strength:
