I can sum up this week’s list with one word: Giancarlo. The Marlins slugger dominated this week’s list, added a couple more entries to the season long list, and has claimed the top spot all for himself on THE LIST. Well done, Giancarlo.
1. Giancarlo Stanton vs Alex Wood, 475 feet (May 16th)
Dead center. Above the batter’s eye. Giancarlo, you’re gross.
2. Giancarlo Stanton vs Cody Martin, 474 feet (May 15th)
How in the hell do you hit a homer to dead center into the camera well? Incredibly strong, and incredibly accurate too!
3. Ryan Howard vs Eddie Butler, 454 feet (May 20th)
Ryan Howard lives! He livessssssss! Yeah it’s Coors Field, but this is still impressive, given how awful Howard has been in recent seasons.
4t. Pedro Alvarez vs Ricky Nolasco, 450 feet (May 19th)
Pedro Alvarez can hit baseballs real far. It takes some ridiculous effort to put a ball in the Allegheny River, and Alvarez managed to do it. Well, he put it in a boat in the river, but we’ll count it.
4t. Evan Gattis vs Jesse Hahn, 450 feet (May 20th)
Something something something GATTITUDE. Onto the train tracks? Nice.
Longest homers of the year
1. Alex Rodriguez vs Nathan Karns, 477 feet (April 17th)
2. Stanton vs Wood, 475 feet (May 16th)
3. Stanton vs Martin, 474 feet (May 15th)
4. Josh Donaldson vs Chris Tillman, 469 feet (April 23rd)
5. Giancarlo Stanton vs Mike Bolsinger, 467 feet (May 12th)
