Re: Longest Home Run Distance Contest ('17 style)

Hit a 575ft bomb with Chris Davis at Fenway that went over the rooftop box seats in right field and out of the stadium.

Will look to post a snapshot from the video.

I agree, total HR actually seems right, but 500ft. HR should be rare, let alone 550+

Watching the MLB network last night , I believe 506 was the longest homer in 2016 , and that was by Stanton at Coors

Hit Tracker Online has it at 495 feet. Regardless, the only 500+ foot measured home run by HTO, regular season or post, was in 2008 by Adam Dunn.

Just goes to show that whether there actually were some that should have been 500 feet but HTO didn't show it, it's just not that common (and when it does, it ain't going in the mid-500's).

Yeah I think actual distance was 496 but MLB networks stat cast had it at projected 506 .

And I totally agree , seems like the big home runs in reality are ones in the 450-480 range on the regular .. Odor hit a mammoth Monday that went 450 and I was in awe .

This may be a stupid question, but do you guys always power swing on these long home runs? I hit a 460 footer with Will Myers the other day just using X. I never can make alot of contact using square.

I don't have a picture or video but last night I hit a 471 foot bomb with Justin Upton in Kaufman Stadium to center/right center into the fountain playing my conquest mode. It was his second of the game. First was a line drive shot that didn't think would make it out.

Of course I was greeted with the lovely game will be added to the queue. THIS IS FREAKING OFFLINE MODE!!!! Why is my game being added to the queue to be lost forever???? Happened before to me and never got the win and no stats counted. In fact I think I was given a loss for it.

I power swing about .01% of the time. I think I've hit something like one HR on a power swing in the last three years. lol And I agree, my contact suffers way too much to make power swing anything more than a novelty for me.

All of my moon shots this year have been normal swings. Most came after sitting on a certain location.

Same here man. I really only use it if I'm playing a derby, and still can't really tell a difference.
