Kris Bryant with a 111.4 mph HR, his hardest-hit batted ball of 2019.
It's his hardest-hit HR since July 16, 2017, when he homered with a 113.0 mph exit velocity, his hardest-hit HR of his career. pic.twitter.com/2eczEWkddm

Worth pointing out that Anthony Rizzo recently passed Aramis Ramirez on the Cubs all-time WAR list for hitters (via FanGraphs). In the modern era, Rizzo ranks No. 7 behind Santo, Banks, Sandburg, Sosa, Williams, and Grace.

Taylor Davis praises Yu Darvish, emphasizes Darvish is on the verge of a breakthrough and takes personal responsibility: "The biggest thing for him is there are so many weapons … My job is trying to figure out that day, that hitter which of those weapons is working."

How juiced are things at AAA? Cubs have an OF – Johnny Field, real name – hitting a whopping .286/.343/.592, but that's a mere 118 wRC+. Yes, that slash line is just 18% better than league average.
Heck, Trent Giambrone is hitting .224/.291/.514 & that's 16% WORSE than average!
