This Morel kid is pretty good.
Chicago Cubs second baseman Christopher Morel continues to sizzle as he smashed a two-run opposite-field homer into the second deck to give the Cubs the 5-2 lead in the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins. The homer traveled an estimated 429 feet with a 109.2 MPH exit velocity. Check it out below: Morel support! pic.twitter.com/YtKbQEJsVu
Twitter reactions: David Ross said that Christopher Morel simply didn’t belong in the minors anymore. He forced the Cubs’ hand back into the majors, and now looks like he belongs in the everyday lineup.

Christopher Morel is one of the only people in the world capable of hitting that particular home run. It's just insane ability.
