Last week, Joc Pederson began to full level with Giancarlo Stanton on our year-long totals. Apparently, that wasn’t cool with Giancarlo, because he took back his crown with a vengeance this week.
1. Giancarlo Stanton vs Eddie Butler, 484 feet (June 5th)
Coors Field + Giancarlo Stanton = PAIN.
2. Wilin Rosario vs David Phelps, 457 feet (June 6th)
Wilin Rosario hasn’t received a ton of playing time this season, but he’s taking advantage of it when he gets a hold of pitches like this.
3. Mitch Moreland vs Sonny Gray, 454 feet (June 9th)
Dead center at the Coliseum! That’s just ridiculous. Mitch Moreland, take a bow.
4t. Wilson Ramos vs Jason Hammel, 450 feet (June 6th)
This blast by Wilson Ramos nearly made it to the Red Porch in left field at Nats Park. Insanity. And he hit it into the wind, too!
4t. Peter Bourjos vs Boone Logan, 450 feet (June 9th)
Wait. Peter Bourjos smashing baseballs? I almost think I should start a “non-Coors Field” version of THE LIST…
Longest homers of the year
