I love admiring a good old-fashioned moonshot just as much as the next baseball fan. With another season upon us, we need to have an answer readily available for the most important question: Which hitters have slugged the longest home runs in 2025?
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 eventually keep it limited to balls launched at least 460 feet, but since the season is still young, we’ll dip down a little lower for a bit. 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 2025’s longest homers, there will be some other frequently asked questions answered regarding home run distance. So, be sure to read on.

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:
