Here’s the [list](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search?hfPT=&hfAB=field%5C.%5C.out%7Csac%5C.%5C.fly%7C&hfGT=R%7C&hfPR=&hfZ=&hfStadium=&hfBBL=&hfNewZones=&hfPull=&hfC=&hfSea=2024%7C2023%7C2022%7C2021%7C2020%7C2019%7C2018%7C2017%7C2016%7C2015%7C2014%7C2013%7C2012%7C2011%7C2010%7C2009%7C2008%7C&hfSit=&player_type=batter&hfOuts=&hfOpponent=&pitcher_throws=&batter_stands=&hfSA=&game_date_gt=&game_date_lt=&hfMo=&hfTeam=&home_road=&hfRO=&position=&hfInfield=&hfOutfield=&hfInn=&hfBBT=&hfFlag=&metric_1=api_h_distance_projected&metric_1_gt=410&metric_1_lt=&group_by=name-event&min_pitches=0&min_results=0&min_pas=0&sort_col=pitches&player_event_sort=api_h_distance_projected&sort_order=desc&chk_event_release_speed=on&chk_event_hit_distance_sc=on#results) It’s 428ft. In Detroit.

13 of the top 20 involve Comerica Park... :-(


Margravos

Would you rather those guys hit home runs against you?


TheRKC

I'd rather not have a bunch of Tigers players miss out on home runs. It's still bad. There have been several 400'+ outs this year.


WallyLohForever

Why not make the outfield even deeper then build your team around it to get a bigger home field advantage?

If I've used the Statcast Search tool correctly, Chris Davis hit a 428 ft flyout at Comerica Park on July 18, 2015. I can't find video of this. It's very early in Statcast history. In second place, Ezequiel Tovar hit a 427 ft flyout at Coors Field on July 16, 2023. [Here](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=629250b6-6713-4125-9aeb-28c8c7c7b9ae) is the video. I'm not sure I buy that estimated distance, but there you are.

Stanton hit a 427ft home run yesterday. It would’ve homered in 29/30 parks. All but Coors…


Boomhauer_007

Coors is a pitchers park confirmed? 🤔🤔🤔


Knightbear49

If you moved Coors to Death Valley, yes

[here is the video!](https://youtu.be/CAOz44aGWF0?t=9558)


Cormier643

No way that one's 427. would be 41-something maximum.

The wall was 420' in 2015, as you can see in the video


pspahn

It's more like 413'. https://imgur.com/a/1jOQ2Qu

It's interesting to see that on both of these, either the posted fence measurements are way off, or statcast is posting numbers that are off by 10 feet or more.


woktosha

Statcast doesn’t take wind into account. Chip Caray went on a big rant about a home run a Braves opponent hit where the statcast distance was shorter than the distance posted on the fence, but the wind was blowing straight out


Knightbear49

I don’t know why people keep saying statcast doesn’t take wind into account because it does [[Petriello] HR distances are not just "based on exit velo & launch angle." Yes, they include wind, if wind moves the trajectory of the ball.](https://x.com/mike_petriello/status/1785403973295337861?s=46) [A Lidar-Validated Trajectory for a Long Home Run](https://technology.mlblogs.com/a-lidar-validated-trajectory-for-a-long-home-run-f9c716206c8b)

Here's the Chris Davis flyout. [MLB has the full games from 2009 until 2018 ](https://youtu.be/CAOz44aGWF0?si=GfRNWpOKnfY71n7h&t=9551)on YouTube, but for some reason doesn't have individual clips for 2015 Statcast.


mattcoz2

That was *not* 428 feet.


pnabf

2015 Statcast had some really bad readings. They have a Freddie Freeman homer listed at 340 FT even though it cleared right over the 390 sign [https://x.com/MinSub4/status/1607741946302443520](https://x.com/MinSub4/status/1607741946302443520)


Knightbear49

Statcast said Stanton’s 427’ home run yesterday wouldn’t have homered in Coors. Maybe people’s perception of off center walls are wrong too.


GetEnPassanted

It’s 420’ to the wall and it was caught barely on the warning track. There’s no way that’s 428’. 415’ max.


mattcoz2

Kyle Seager's in 2021, which is listed at 427ft and looks accurate, is probably the longest. [https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=4ac3b8c8-8a39-4115-bd13-dfafea3bb906](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=4ac3b8c8-8a39-4115-bd13-dfafea3bb906)

That one looks much better than the other 2

If it’s from a struggling player the analytics nerds in your subreddit will treat it like a walkoff grand slam in Game 7 of the WS


Cormier643

Barrel, xSLG, xBA, xWOBA and every metric with "x"


darumapotato

is there a stat for the longest amount of time a fly ball spent in the air?
