I love admiring a good old-fashioned moonshot just as much as the next baseball fan. Which hitters have slugged the longest home runs in 2024?
This post will serve as a running list for some of the season’s most impressive tanks. Details include the player, distance, date it happened, and a video to prove it. We’ll keep it limited to balls launched at least 450 feet. That seems like a high benchmark, but there will be plenty of taters to admire by the end of the regular season.
After you’re done admiring 2024’s longest homers, there will be some other frequently asked questions answered regarding home run distance. So, be sure to read on.

He slugged a 582-foot shot on June 3, 1987 in Triple-A for the Denver Zephyrs.

Nolan Jones of the Rockies has hit the longest walk-off home run of the Statcast Era. Jones called game on June 11th, 2023 by crushing this ball 472 feet.
Who Has Hit the Longest Postseason Home Run?
Statcast has helped us keep better track of MLB history since the 2015 season. When using that as the guideline, catcher Willson Contreras holds the record for the longest home run in the postseason. He made Wrigley Field look tiny after launching this 491-foot blast during Game 4 of the 2017 NLCS.
The remainder of the top 15 (before the 2024 playoffs) are as follows:
- Kyle Schwarber, Philadelphia Phillies: 488 feet

Juan Soto owns the Home Run Derby record for the longest home run ever. He hit a 520-foot moonshot at Coors Field in 2022. Check out our Home Run Derby guide for all of the information you’d ever want about the event.
What is Shohei Ohtani‘s Longest Career Home Run?

We’re lucky enough to have had Statcast for the entirety of Ohtani’s MLB career. He hit a ball 493 feet during the 2023 season. That’s currently the longest home run he’s ever hit as a big leaguer.
What is Barry Bonds‘ Longest Career Home Run?
It’s officially undetermined which of Bonds’ 762 career home runs was his longest since we didn’t have Statcast throughout his career. The pitcher-friendly dimensions of Oracle Park never bothered him much, but this blast during his only series at Yankee Stadium in 2022 is one that still has people talking.
What is Giancarlo Stanton’s Longest Career Home Run?
Stanton has hit a ton of tape-measure dingers over the years. His longest during the Statcast Era, though, is this 504-foot tank he slugged at Coors Field on August 6th, 2016.
Who Hit Long Home Runs Before the Statcast Era?
Our dedicated post on the longest home runs has a treasure trove of taters to sift through. There are a total of 23 homers highlighted, with it being a mix of those during the Statcast Era and those before it. Who can you expect to see? That would include some of the following:
- Cecil Fielder landing on the roof of Tiger Stadium
- Reggie Jackson using the All-Star Game as his playground
- Glenallen Hill hitting one into orbit at Wrigley
- Jim Thome showing that Jacobs Field couldn’t hold him in the slightest
- A young Adam Dunn pummeling a ball to center field for the Cincinnati Reds
And more! Check it all out here.
