There were some majestic dingers this week, but they didn’t involve the players at the top of the list. It’s a shame that no one is going to end up challenging Giancarlo by the end of the season, but here we are.
1. Brett Lawrie vs David Hernandez, 476 feet (August 28th)
A second decker in left at Chase Field is no joke. Take a bow, Brett Lawrie.
2. Paul Goldschmidt vs Pat Venditte, 470 feet (August 28th)
Also, anything hit to dead center at Chase Field is no joke – Goldschmidt obliterated this ball, just because he could.
3. DJ LeMahieu vs Patrick Corbin, 467 feet (September 1st)
DJ LeMahieu?! DJ LeMahieu. This was a Coors Field special.
4. Kyle Parker vs Patrick Corbin, 462 feet (September 1st)
And then there’s *this* shot by Kyle Parker, into the shrubbery in dead center at Coors.
5. Chris Davis vs Matt Andriese, 459 feet (September 2nd)
Here’s your one homer on the week this list not involving the Diamondbacks. Man, Chris Davis really punished this ball.
