Watch: Arrieta launches record-breaking 465-foot HR off Greinke

Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta firmly cemented his spot in the #PitchersWhoRake club last year. On Thursday, the 31-year-old right-hander renewed his membership.

In his first Cactus League at-bat, Arrieta launched a 465-foot home run off Zack Greinke at Salt River Fields, shattering the previous record for the longest homer by a pitcher (440 feet) in the Statcast era. The previous record, by the way, belonged to Jake Arrieta.

"It was not one of my better pitches," Greinke told MLB.com's Carrie Muskat. "He hit it really well."
