Harrison Bader Dents Food Truck With 408-Foot Spring Homer for Giants

Statcast put the shot at 113.6 mph over 408 feet, a viral spring snapshot Bader capped by signing an apology on Monica Godfrey’s Cactus Bowls truck.

Overview

  • The fourth-inning drive cleared the left-field berm at Maryvale and struck the food truck on the fly during the Giants’ 13–12 exhibition loss to the Brewers.
  • After finishing his work, Bader visited the truck, signed next to the dent, and wrote “Sorry” for owner Monica Godfrey.
  • Tracking data logged the homer at roughly 408 feet with a 113.6–113.8 mph exit velocity, the hardest-hit ball by a Giant so far this spring.
  • Luis Matos and top prospect Bryce Eldridge also homered, while Adrian Houser and Carson Whisenhunt had uneven outings in a 55-player, 355-pitch game.
  • With camp evaluations ongoing, Jung Hoo Lee now leaves to play for South Korea in the WBC, and Bader is set to depart soon to join Team Israel.
