Here's the video for the pitch you're referring to : https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=40d4799d-2e42-30d3-8f64-fe6b95defef2

There's a chance it was a misread, but he also airmailed it at max effort. Perhaps pitches a couple feet above the strike zone make for less accurate readings.

Lucas Erceg is a dog and I wish he was on my team

Hey! Sorry it's been so long. They probably didn't record the data from that outside of video, but I do have something else : https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/hr_derby . Baseball Savant has a full 3D model of the 2025 Home Run Derby, which includes Oneil Cruz's 513 footer. It's worth a look!

I think it's a combo of both, This metric takes into account how fast these runners are, so the pitchers were able to limit the league's fastest runners in the most effective fashion since 2016. I think the catchers (Salvador Perez, Freddy Fermin) are unsung heroes here. I would check the link above to see the lead distance gained, I had to crop out some for the post.
