The summer months are here, and Willson Contreras’s power stroke is heating up right along with the temperatures.
Today’s shot went way up into the left center bleachers, with no question about it off the bat:

That was 430 feet way out of here, though I suppose David Bote has bragging rights, as his shot went 10 feet further earlier in the game.
That’s Contreras’s 7th homer of the year, and I’d still be shocked if he didn’t get to 20+ by the time the season is up.
