Tonight’s Cubs-Cubs intrasquad game is not on Marquee, so we have to make do with whatever updates we get from the fine beat reporters on the scene.
To that end, Javy Báez just crushed one off of depth starter Colin Rea. It sounded good off the bat, and got out in a hurry:

Oh, and if a distance video and a slow-mo close-up don’t do it justice, we can presume the homer looked like this one from batting practice before the game:
