We’re getting down to the nitty gritty here – two more editions after today, and no one is coming close to surpassing Giancarlo Stanton at the top of the list. Without any further ado, let’s let the jockeying for the rest of THE LIST continue.
1. Carlos Correa vs Hector Santiago, 455 feet (September 12th)
That’s a loooooooong homer from Carlos Correa…who doesn’t turn 21 until Tuesday, for what it’s worth.
2. Welington Castillo vs Alex Wood, 451 feet (September 11th)
Dinger onto the concourse in left center at Chase Field? You betcha! How about Welington Castillo’s season? Nice trade, Seattle.
3. Kyle Schwarber vs Alec Asher, 450 feet (September 11th)
LOOK OUT, KYLE SCHWARBER IS HITTING HOMERS ONTO ASHBURN ALLEY!
4. Justin Upton vs Jhoulys Chacin, 449 feet (September 15th)
Second decker at Chase! YES!
5. Mike Olt vs Cody Martin, 448 feet (September 16th)
Remember when Mike Olt was a thing? He couldn’t succeed on Chicago’s North Side, but maybe he can thrive on the South Side.
