On Thursday, Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta added to his hitting legend by blasting a 464-foot home run off Zack Greinke. It was the longest home run by a pitcher ever recorded by Statcast, breaking the old record of 440 which was also by Arrieta.

Did we mention it was the first plate appearance this spring for Arrieta?
