Jalen Beeks Surrenders Record-Breaking Home Run to Oneil Cruz

Rangers pitcher Jalen Beeks was on the receiving end of a historic blast during Wednesday's matchup against the Pirates. Beeks surrendered a 116.9 mph home run to Oneil Cruz, which stands as the hardest-hit ball in the major leagues so far this season. The cut fastball was driven 432 feet off the right-field foul pole at Globe Life Field. While Beeks faced a difficult challenge against the powerful Cruz, the moment highlighted the extreme exit velocities the Rangers' pitching staff must navigate.
