McMahon hit exactly two homers in each month between April and July. Through seven games in August, he already hit three dingers. Trevor Story‘s mammoth 505-foot homer was part of an incredibly powerful three-homer night.

People even used tape to measure the distance of previous homers. Dave Kingman was an accomplished home run hitter in his career, retiring in 1986 with 442. None of them would be longer than the one he hit on April 14, 1976 at Wrigley Park. This one wasn’t just hit out of the field of play, it went out of the actual park.

The longest blast in the StatCast era came in 2005, when Nomar Mazara hit a 505-foot cannon. Giancarlo Stanton is the second only player since 2015 to hit one 500-plus feet. Sure, he has the advantage of playing with increased elevation at Coors Field, but what C.J.

While it’s possible Oklahoma State gave a favorable measurement, the 513-foot homer would easily be the farthest home run in 2022 at any level of baseball. This blast, the second on the list from Dunn, makes his first look like a chip shot and this time he may have used the driver. On August 10th of the 2004 season, Dunn connected on one of his 46 on the season and put himself in the top 3 for farthest dingers. He also became the only man, and still stands as so, to hit a ball clear out of The Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. He hit the ball to the deepest part of the park in center-field, proving why he show up on our list twice. Dunn was one of the premier home run hitters during his 15-year career that lasted from 2001 to 2014.

However, subsequent investigation indicated that the ball landed on the back of the roof before bouncing into the night. When Kingman launched his wind-aided blow in Chicago, The New York Times somehow concluded that it had flown 630 feet. It has been confirmed that the ball struck against the third house beyond Waveland Avenue, which is situated about 530 feet from home plate. Yet again, we have an example of a genuinely epic home run that has been grievously overstated.

Memorial Field opened in 1921 as a tribute to Belmar residents who fought in World War I (there’s a war memorial just beyond the outfield fence). In the 1920s and 1930s, the field was home to the semipro Belmar Braves. In 1935 the New York Cubans, a Negro National League team led by player-coach Dihigo, used the field for its Saturday home games. At a time when Blacks were barred from Major League Baseball, barnstorming tours featuring Negro League stars made stops there as well.

Four consecutive home runs by a team in one game

Nicknamed “The Immortal,” Dihigo played every position and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1977. Fresh off a 30/30 campaign (and nearly going 40/40), Ronald Acuña Jr. needed just 46 games to slug 14 home runs in 2020, with this one obviously being the longest of the pandemic-shortened year. With a .987 OPS, he placed 12th in NL MVP voting and won his second Silver Slugger awards. Ryan McMahon hasn’t yet put together an above-average year on offense since debuting for the Rockies in 2017.

But everything came together on June 21, 2018 when Mazara sent a Reynaldo Lopez fastball towering into the bleachers. At 505 feet, it’s the longest home run ever in the StatCast era. Here are the longest home runs in the Home Run Derby, during the StatCast era, away from Coors Field.

Let’s dive into the best moonshots in MLB history and the longest home run ever. Mantle’s famous baseball was actually stolen from its display case in the Yankee Stadium by a group of boys who regretted the theft and returned it. Based on the most accurate possible measurements, Kingman’s home run is said to be the longest one in the history of Wrigley Field. Before Strawberry broke the record, the previous longest Olympic Stadium Home Run was made by Willie Stargell at 475 feet.

Kingman’s second was a monstrous blast that found its way three houses deep on Waveland Avenue, before taking off down the street. This blast from another massive first baseman was as sweet as his name. In a game for the D-backs back in 2004, Sexson delivered a bomb to straight away center field that could barely be followed by the cameraman.

Between 1984 and 1987, he slugged at least 24 homers and 92 RBI in each campaign, with two of them going for 30-plus. He also posted an OPS greater than .900 on three different occasions. In the tables below, players and teams denoted in boldface are still actively contributing to the record noted, while denotes a player's rookie season. Before 2006, there are several questionable estimations of homers.

Reggie Jackson hit an impressive 563 home runs during his MLB career and earned a number of different awards for his outstanding performance. His achievements include two Silver Slugger Awards, two World Series MVP Awards, and the Babe Ruth Award. Jackson also helped win nearly-countless pennants, and tendency to play as a clutch hitter earned him the nickname “Mr. There's home run king Barry Bonds, there's Adam Dunn depositing baseballs into other states.

Delahanty and Horner are the only players to hit four home runs in a game as a part of a losing effort. Mark McGwire led the American League in home runs in 1987 and 1996. In 1997, he led Major League Baseball in home runs, but led neither the American nor National League, as his season was split between the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. If that season were to be included, he would be the league leader for five seasons, four of which were in succession. As of 2021, Meyer works in the security department of a hospital in Maui.

It may not have been the only home run ever to leave Jacobs Field, but it was memorable. Moving into the eighties, Mike Schmidt, Jim Rice, and Darryl Strawberry set the pace at a time when modern technology permitted us to better understand the limitations of the flight of a batted ball. The same home runs that had once been described as 500 footers were now being scientifically calculated in the 450-foot range.
