For most of its storied existence, Dodger Stadium has not been a place where the ball is known to fly. Nevertheless, it has been the backdrop for some majestic blasts -- especially since a guy named Shohei Ohtani started playing his home games there.
The two-way superstar is far from the only player to make Chavez Ravine look small every now and then. Let's take a look at the five longest projected home run distances at Dodger Stadium, in the regular season and postseason, since Statcast began tracking in 2015.
Limiting this ranking to the Statcast Era means that four of the eight homers that left Dodger Stadium entirely -- with estimated distances that would otherwise make the cut -- are not included. Prior to 2015, Willie Stargell (1969 and '73), Mike Piazza ('97) and Mark McGwire ('99) accomplished the rare feat.
1. 475 feet: Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton off Dodgers' Mike Bolsinger on May 12, 2015
This one has stood the test of time. The slugging Stanton, an L.A.-area native, rang in the Statcast Era with the first home run hit out of Dodger Stadium in more than 15 years. When Bolsinger threw him an 0-1 offering that was right in his wheelhouse, Stanton sent it sailing over the Left Field Pavilion at a scorching 114 mph. Left fielder Scott Van Slyke hardly moved as he watched the mammoth blast leave the park.
"If anyone is going to do it, it's him," said then-Marlins pitcher Dan Haren, also a former Dodger. "It doesn't surprise me, really. That was pretty impressive. It happens a lot in batting practice, but it's different during the game. The weather cools down. It's quite a bit tougher." More >>
2. 473 feet: Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani off Red Sox's Kutter Crawford on July 21, 2024
To the surprise of many, this blast was just barely contained by Dodger Stadium. Crawford made the mistake of leaving a cutter over the plate, and Ohtani made him pay with a moonshot that cleared the seats in right-center -- but not the pavilion roof. It was a thing of beauty nonetheless, one of many highlights from Ohtani's extraordinary first season in Dodger blue.
"That’s just where people don’t go," manager Dave Roberts said. "Just really impressive.” More >>
3. 469 feet: Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani off Brewers' Chad Patrick on Oct. 17, 2025
In a game for the ages, this long ball from Ohtani stood out. With his Dodgers on the verge of sweeping the Brewers in the NLCS, Ohtani hammered his second homer of the game over the Right Field Pavilion roof, joining Stargell and Kyle Schwarber -- who had left the yard with a projected 455-foot blast about a week and a half earlier during the NLDS -- as the only left-handed hitters to homer out of Dodger Stadium. That was just one piece of the signature two-way performance Ohtani put on that night: Not only did he go deep three times, he struck out 10 across six scoreless innings on the mound.
"Just mouth agape,” president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. “Eyes wide, mouth agape. Just in awe, shock." More >>
4. 467 feet: Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. off Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin on Sept. 30, 2021
Even before the rivalry between the Dodgers and Padres reached its peak intensity, Tatis was already authoring electric moments when the two teams went head-to-head. Gonsolin hung a slider and Tatis got all of it, sending it soaring over the Left Field Pavilion and clanging off the top of the roof. It was the final of his NL-leading 42 homers that season, which saw him finish third in MVP voting.
“It was a monster home run,” said then-Padres infielder Ha-Seong Kim. “This is my 42nd time seeing it. But it still amazes me every time.” More >>
5. 464 feet: Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani off Braves' A.J. Minter on May 5, 2024
Ohtani capped his first multihomer game as a Dodger in style, taking Minter deep for a gargantuan blast that was the third longest of his career at the time. Right from the beginning of his Dodgers tenure, Ohtani set a high bar for what he's capable of -- and seeing as he's bested this mark at home, he continues to exceed the lofty expectations on him.
“He just keeps doing things that we haven’t seen before,” Roberts said. “That’s deep. People don’t hit the ball out there [in left-center field]. Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, day game, night game. He really got into that one.” More >>
