Jason Heyward is still hitting rockets three weeks into the 2017 season and all Chicago Cubs fans should be loving it. We didn’t see a lot of good results with his new swing during spring training, but there’s been a notable difference since the season opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. On Friday, Heyward blasted his first home run of the season, smashing a bomb more than 430 feet against the Cincinnati Reds.
Heyward unloaded on this ball.

If he keeps this up all year, good luck NL.
