The above picture depicts the aftermath of what happens to a wall when a Ryan Howard-hit baseball makes contact with it. Notice the baseball seams? Yeah, I think it’s safe to say the Phillies first baseman has respectable upper-body strength. The Zo Zone (via Can’t Stop The Bleeding) has more:

Ryan Howard just ripped a foul ball into the Bright House Field press box. The ball cruised between Phillies baseball communications folks Greg Casterioto and Kevin Gregg. Howard hit the ball so ridiculously hard that it put a hole in the drywall in the back of the press box, a good 20 feet behind the open window it sailed through.

It must be all those Subway sandwiches he’s been eating.
