Home runs remain the best part about watching baseball. Nothing quite compares to watching a player crush a baseball over the fence.
But the best part about baseball’s modern era is that all home runs are being tracked. MLB calculates bat speed, exit velocity, launch angle, and distance for each hit. All that information is accessible at Baseball Savant.
With that in mind, here is an updated list of the longest home runs for the 2026 MLB season:
Longest Home Runs 2026
| Player | Team | Distance of Home Run | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shea Langeliers | Athletics | 467 feet | April 15 vs. Rangers |
| Cam Smith | Astros | 462 feet | April 6 at Rockies |
| Kyle Schwarber | Phillies | 460 feet | April 3 at Rockies |
| Jordan Walker | Cardinals | 459 feet | April 4 at Tigers |
| Cam Smith | Astros | 457 feet | May 26 vs. Rangers |
| Bryce Harper | Phillies | 457 feet | May 16 at Pirates |
| Aaron Judge | Yankees | 456 feet | April 13 vs. Angels |
| Seiya Suzuki | Cubs | 455 feet | May 4 vs. Reds |
| Kyle Manzardo | Guardians | 454 feet | April 10 at Braves |
| Brandon Marsh | Phillies | 454 feet | April 3 at Rockies |
Who Hit the Longest Home Run in 2025?
Athletics outfielder Nick Kurtz was responsible for the longest home run in 2025, launching a 493-foot blast against the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 13.
Kurtz’s home run is the longest homer by an A’s hitter and the longest grand slam in the Statcast era (since 2015). It is also the longest homer since Shohei Ohtani’s 493-foot shot on June 30, 2023.
