What a rookie season!

Chicago Cubs first baseman Michael Busch crushed a solo homer to right-center field to put the Cubs up 1-0 in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins.

The homer traveled an estimated 389 feet with an exit velocity of 107.9 MPH. It was his 16th dinger of the season, matching Colton Cowser for the rookie MLB lead in homers.

One interesting fact is that Busch has hit ten homers this season with two strikes in the count.

After the homer, the Cubs have a win probability of 52.6 percent for this afternoon's contest.
