If I hit a home run in a Major League Baseball game, I’d take as long as possible to touch all the bases. It would be extra satisfying to milk every second.

While MLB players may have more experience hitting home runs, some are willing to take their time rounding the bases after sending the ball over the fence.

But have you ever wondered who has the slowest home run trot in the league?

Fortunately, Baseball Savant offers the answer to that very question. Here’s a look at the players (or rather, kings) with the longest average home run trot in MLB this season:
