The Chicago Cubs’ first homer of the spring comes courtesy of the new guy.
In case you didn’t know that, like the guy he’s replacing, Joc Pederson can absolutely destroy the ball … he’s already ready to remind you:

As the announcer notes, Kyle Schwarber also hit his first spring homer today with his new club. Pederson was just there, available as a good friend, to take our minds off of it.
Here’s the view behind home plate:
