105.3 at 49 is only a HR in Daikin Park according to statcast, I have no idea if that accounts for roofs

I'm thinking that would have been 2 run HR, not so sure because it was such a moon shot.

105 mph with a 49 degree LA according to Savant.  I'm not sure that's a HR regardless of what it hits.  

Apparently only 5 balls with a 49 degree LA have ended up as HRs in the Statcast era and 4 of them were hit harder.  I believe the 5th was with favorable wind conditions.

Edit: Actually reading more into it, all 5 of those HRs were wind aided.

I’m not so sure. It was still heading upwards when it hit the cabling. I think it was a HR ball, but we’ll never know.

I agree Megill is a prime candidate to blow a save. It just about happened there.
