Statcast measured Correa's blast at 111 mph off the bat and 450 feet away. That's an impressive distance, but one that still ranks behind six of the 42 other homers Correa has crushed in his short career. For Correa, it was just a matter of whether or not the ball would stay fair.

Thankfully for the Astros, the monster shot was a fair ball, and it help them beat Seattle by a score of 3-0.
No word yet on whether or not the ball caught the next train out of Houston. Correa did all that he could to help.
