Rafael Devers continues to impress.
The Boston Red Sox rookie has been raking since his call-up from Triple-A Pawtucket, and New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman found out how good he is during the ninth inning at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night.
The Red Sox trailed by a run with one out in the final frame when Devers turned around a 103-mph fastball from Chapman, launching it over the left-center field wall to tie the game at two.
Take a look at the monster shot by Devers.

Wow.
Here’s how impressive Devers’ fourth round-tripper of the season was.
Devers' homered on a 102.8 mph fastball. Baseball Savant has that as the highest velo pitch to yield a HR in Statcast era.

It was the first home run Chapman had surrendered this season and it landed 423 feet away.
