Matt Mervis

Matt Mervis will remember Tuesday night for the rest of his life, with the Chicago Cubs rookie reaching a big personal milestone during the team’s game against the Houston Astros. In the top of the second inning, Mervis launched his first career home run to right field. The shot traveled 393 feet and scorched off his bat at an exit velocity of 110.7 mph, per Statcast. Expect many more where that came from for the 25-year-old, Washington, D.C. native.
