In his first full season as a big leaguer, he nearly joined the club with 41 homers and 37 stolen bases. According to the White Sox's official Twitter account, the gargantuan blast traveled an estimated 475 feet. The event did happen more than 34 years ago, so it's hard to fault Tennyson for not remembering exactly how he got the number 582. Not being a fan of baseball, he also said he was just focused on getting an exact measurement and not taking home run history into consideration at all.

En route to the Royals winning the 2015 World Series title, KC’s first baseman launched this moonshot in the ALDS against the Houston Astros. Hosmer has slugged three postseason home runs in his career . What we see here was the only one he hit during the 2015 playoffs. Snyder’s homer is tied for the second-shortest out-of-the-park homer hit in the past eight seasons (trailing only a 311-foot shot by Jeff Keppinger in 2006).

No player knows this more than Mike Napoli, whose two home runs on May 1 against the Toronto Blue Jays rank among the longest blasts of the 2013 season. The latter of these home runs came off of Esmil Rogers for a three-run shot that added to an already impressive Red Sox lead. The home run was also the longest walk-off home run in the major leagues during the past eight seasons.

According to ESPN Home Run Tracker, Gattis' long ball beat the second-farthest home run of the year by 10 feet. When the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox meet this season at the Rogers Centre, the deep blasts continue to fly. If players want to see just how far they can hit a home run this season, it seems like the Rogers Centre is the place to give it a try. That was the scene on May 21 when Pablo Sandoval smashed a two-run home run in the 10th inning off Yunesky Maya of the Washington Nationals. The home run was his second hit of the game, and his eighth home run of the season. The Home Run Derby showcases the best sluggers in the game.

It was quite a weird taste for him, too. The backstop obviously slugged one of the longest postseason home runs of the Statcast era, and he didn’t stop there. Chad Pinder is another guy I wouldn’t expect to be on here, but I love it.

He’s never hit more than 15 homers in a single season, which happened in 2017. Pinder has registered four years of double-digit homers, though. When I think of the longest postseason homers of the Statcast era, Eric Hosmer definitely isn’t one of my first thoughts. That’s the beauty of baseball, though, folks. "There were people who worked at the stadium full-time," Tennyson explained.

If the visiting team launches one, it can silence 30,000-40,000 people in a single moment. But if that tater is slugged by the home team, stadiums feel like they start to shake. Had Bourn not made contact, the ball would have traveled only 386 feet and would not have been a home run in any major league park.

I’ll have to say no, but then again, the left-handed slugger is fully capable of doing so. Is it shocking that the Braves won the World Series during Freeman’s best postseason performance? No, not at all. The first baseman didn’t post an OPS lower than .996 in any of the three rounds he and Atlanta participated in. "The following day, there were so many reporters there," Meyer recalled.

Frazier hasn’t homered since, but it’s clear what the 27-year-old is capable of following his monster blast during the opening month of the season. Although he has hit only four home runs this season, his last two have come off of Scherzer and James Shields, two of the better pitchers he’s faced this season. Schwarber spread his homer production across all postseason rounds in 2015, too. He hit one in the NL Wild Card Game, two in the NLDS, and then two in the NLCS. His OPS progressively decreased along the way (2.333, 1.683, .821), but the damage was done. The Braves didn’t advance past the NLDS in 2019, but it had nothing to do with a then-21-year old Ronald Acuña Jr. and his performance.

The home run wasn’t just impressive to watch, but it was also the longest of Trout’s already historic career.

Napoli’s 460-foot home run was his fourth home run of calculated at 460 feet or more, the most such home runs this year. No other player even had three such home runs. On May 22, Cabrera hit a fly ball to the center-field wall at Progressive Field. Trout hit the longest home run of the season at two different ballparks -- Kauffman Stadium and Tropicana Field .

Meyer's high school coach in Honolulu still raves about his power, saying he could come out right now and still hit homers. The first baseman was even given the Barry Bonds treatment in his school days, getting intentionally walked with the bases loaded. Gattis’ homer is the longest hit by an Atlanta Braves player in the past eight seasons and is tied for the ninth-longest in all of baseball over that same stretch. On Sept. 8, Evan Gattis drove a Cole Hamels fastball 486 feet to dead center field at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia for what would finish as the longest home run of 2013. Mike Trout may have the most recent monster blast, and Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton are capable of making this list at any point.

Using an amazing tool from ESPN called the Home Run Tracker, I am going to pull out the 10 longest home runs of 2013 in terms of true distance. This is defined as the distance the ball would have traveled if it had continued traveling down to the field level without being impeded by bleachers or fans. Home runs require a combination of strength and accuracy.
