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. Baseball Savant makes all that information accessible.
With that in mind, here is an updated list of the longest home runs for the 2026 MLB season:

Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz was responsible for the longest home run in 2025, launching a 493-foot blast against the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 13.
