Watch: Manny Machado hit the hardest recorded home run by a Padre

Manny Machado smoked an absolute laser of a home run on Friday night. The ball was hit so hard it was measured as the hardest home run slugged by a San Diego Padre in the StatCast era (since 2015).

Machado was batting in the bottom of the third inning against Philadelphia Phillies starter Matt Moore with a runner on first and one out. He took a 91-mph fastball outside and drilled a line drive home run to left.

The home run was measured at 119.6 mph off the bat, which is the fourth-hardest home run since StatCast began tracking in 2015.

That's the 4th-hardest hit HR tracked by Statcast (since 2015), behind only:
