Brewers star Christian Yelich, one of the leading favorites to win the 2020 NL MVP award, has emerged as one of the best power hitters in the National League over the last two seasons in Milwaukee, with 36 home runs in 2018 and 44 homers in 2019.
Yelich and the Brewers will open their regular season on the road in Chicago on Friday, and Yelich demonstrated that power in pre-game batting practice at Wrigley Field, where he blasted a ball into right field and broke a significant portion of the video board.
Friday’s Brewers-Cubs game will start at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN, with Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff facing off against Chicago’s Kyle Hendricks.
