LaMonte Wade Jr. launched Oracle Park's 100th Splash Hit against the Baltimore Orioles in the bottom of the first inning on Friday.
The Giants entered this season at 97 and got one from Wade on the first homestand. The homer that got them within one swing of 100 was a fascinating one, and was only confirmed to be a Splash Hit after a review by ballpark officials.
Brandon Crawford's three-run homer on April 22 had the right trajectory and ended up in the water, but FOX was broadcasting that game and decided not to use the McCovey Cove camera that is part of the usual broadcasts. The splash was not caught by cameras, but the ballpark operations staff reviewed security footage from the arcade section and port walk. A day later, Crawford was given his fourth splash hit and the ticker went up to 99.
The Giants had to wait a while after that one, but Wade opened Friday night's game with fireworks, jumping on a first-pitch fastball from Dean Kremer.This guy couldn't believe he got the 100th Splash Hit 😂
