119.7 MPH on the exit velocity and 488 feet for distance. Kyle Schwarber absolutely smoked one DEEP into the night as the Phillies took game 1 of the NLCS by a 2-0 scoreline.

This right here might be the coolest video of the entire postseason run thus far:

And check out this angle:

According to the stats people, this is the longest homer hit by a Phillie in the Statcast era. There was a 471 foot bomb that Maikel Franco hit in 2016, which is obviously now #2. They also showed a graphic on FOX saying that the 119.7 MP exit velo makes this the hardest hit postseason home run since they began logging these numbers. There were four other homers that were actually hit harder, but they all took place in the regular season.

But Christ almighty, he destroyed that baseball. It went further than the moon. Maybe it landed on Mars or found its way to the Kuiper Belt. It seriously makes the Matt Stairs home run look like wiffle ball. What a friggin’ dinger.


Phils up 1-0 and now three games away from the World Series.
