...a preliminary guess is that the object, likely a tiny asteroid, had a mass around 22 pounds (10 kilograms).
If it was an Iron rich object, that would put it around the size of the fist of an adult man.

Wow, that's insane. I would have thought it was closer to the size of a yoga ball than a baseball.

Refined estimates for the impact: Location, orbit and energy of a meteoroid impacting the moon during the Lunar Eclipse of January 21, 2019
20-100 kg mass, 30-50 cm diameter and about 14 km/s. The impact had a shallow angle.
They expect a crater with 7-15 m diameter.
