The Chicago Cubs aren't playing well early on against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon.

However, there has been one bright spot in second-year sensation Christopher Morel as he blasted a homer into the third level of the upper deck in Minneapolis.

Insane power by the youngster for this third homer of the season.

The homer traveled 461 feet with a travel velocity of 113.6 MPH, and it tied Patrick Wisdom's June homer last season as the longer dinger by a Cubs hitter since Willson Contreras in 2021.

All three of Morel's homers at the big league level this season have traveled over 400 feet.

Check out the homer below:
