The breeze blew in from right field at 18 mph on Sunday at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium. But it couldn't stop Jazz Chisholm's power bat.
The third-ranked Marlins prospect crushed his first homer of the spring in a 7-3 loss to St. Louis. The ball sailed 395 feet against the wind and rocketed off Chisholm's bat at 112 mph.

Chisholm hit .272/.329/.513 with 25 homers between Class A Kane County and Class A Advanced Visalia in 2018, but batted .204/.305/.427 with a 33.8 percent strikeout rate for Double-A Jackson to start 2019. The D-Backs flipped him at the Trade Deadline for starting pitcher Zac Gallen.
