These are the longest Coors Field moonshots

September 10th, 2022

Here are the longest homers at Coors Field since the advent of Statcast in 2015:

1-T. 504 feet -- (Rockies) off RHP Keynan Middleton (D-backs) on Sept. 9, 2022

1-T. 504 feet -- (Marlins) off RHP Chad Bettis (Rockies) on Aug. 6, 2016

2. 499 feet -- Christian Yelich (Brewers) off RHP Chad Kuhl (Rockies) on Sept. 6, 2022

3. 496 feet -- Jesús Sánchez (Marlins) off RHP Ryan Feltner (Rockies) on May 30, 2022

4. 495 feet -- Ryan McMahon (Rockies) off LHP T.J. McFarland (Cardinals) on Aug. 9, 2022

5. 493 feet -- (Nationals) off LHP Yohan Flande (Rockies) on Aug. 20, 2015

6T. 487 feet -- (Cardinals) off RHP Tim Melville (Rockies) on Sept. 19, 2019

6T. 487 feet -- Trevor Story (Rockies) off LHP Andrew Suarez (Giants) on Sept. 5, 2018

8T. 486 feet -- C.J. Cron (Rockies) off LHP MacKenzie Gore (Padres) on June 17, 2022

8T. 486 feet -- (Rockies) off LHP Mike Montgomery (Cubs) on June 10, 2019

10. 484 feet -- (Rockies) off LHP Hunter Cervenka (Braves) on July 21, 2016

Of course, the list does not include a well-remembered, pre-Statcast long ball. Still, Hall of Famer Mike Piazza’s shot for the Dodgers off Darren Holmes on Sept. 26, 1997, traveled 496 feet, according to a postgame estimate by the Rockies.

When Stanton’s distance was announced, longtime Rockies observers disputed that it was anywhere near the distance of Piazza’s. Whatever the distance, it’s worth another gawk.
