The 10 Longest Career Home Runs by Mike Trout

A lot of modern-day baseball fans simply refer to Mike Trout as the GOAT, and while it’s doubtful that he’s the best of all time, he’s certainly earned his place in the discussion. Year in and year out, the Los Angeles Angels outfielder continues to dazzle fans with his skills in the field and at the plate.

Trout is a perennial All-Star, a three-time American League MVP Award winner, and has more seasons with a Silver Slugger Award than without. In this list, we’re looking at his success in the batter’s box — and using data from Statcast to count down the 10 longest home runs of his career to date. (All videos appear courtesy of MLB.)

Here are the 10 longest home runs of Mike Trout’s career.

10. 456 feet: June 17, 2019, at Rogers Centre

Trout kicks off our list with a towering shot hit north of the border on June 17, 2019. The outfielder connected with a middle-of-the-zone fastball from Toronto’s Nick Kingham, sending the ball to straightaway center field in a hurry. It landed in the WestJet Flight Deck, and the nearest Blue Jays outfielders could do little but casually jog toward the outfield fence while looking skyward. The 456-foot home run had an exit velocity of 110.6 mph, and was Trout’s 20th of a 45-home run season.

9. 459 feet: June 11, 2018, at T-Mobile Park

Die-hard Angels fans may recall that Trout hit two home runs at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park on June 11, 2018. The first traveled 392 feet, but the second flew nearly 70 feet farther. That blast, which came off an elevated fastball from Ryan Cook, soared 459 feet to straightaway center field. The baseball slammed into the batter’s eye after leaving Trout’s bat at 115 mph. It was his 21st home run of the season.

8. 461 feet: May 31, 2023, at Guaranteed Rate Field

Trout hit 18 home runs during his injury-shortened 2023 campaign, and none flew farther than a blast on the last day of May on the South Side of Chicago. White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn left a curveball in the center of the strike zone, and Trout walloped the baseball with an exit velocity of 110.8 mph. The baseball landed just in the upper rows of the bleachers in left field, just feet shy of the concourse — 461 feet from home plate.

7. 464 feet: April 6, 2021, at Angel Stadium

The 2021 season was surely the most frustrating of Trout’s career, as a serious calf injury kept him out of all but 36 games for the Angels. During those three-dozen contests, Trout slugged eight home runs, including a 464-foot shot at home against Houston. Trout absolutely teed off on a low slider from Zack Greinke, sending the baseball several rows into the seats in left-center field. The April 6 home run was Trout’s second of the season and had an exit velocity of 113.2 mph.

6. 471 feet: July 12, 2019, at Angel Stadium

Trout won his third AL MVP award in 2019, putting a bow on one of the best offensive seasons of his career. That year, he hit a career-high 45 round-trippers, including some memorable blasts in front of the home crowd. His 29th of the year, which he hit off Mariners starter Mike Leake, is one that Halos fans will remember. On the first pitch he saw in the game, Trout — who was wearing jersey #45 in honor of recently deceased teammate Tyler Skaggs — crushed a low slider high and deep, sending the ball 471 feet into the California Spectacular rock formation. The home run had an exit velocity of 111 mph.

5. 472 feet: April 14, 2022, at Globe Life Field

After an injury-shortened 2021 season, Trout played in 119 games in 2022 — smacking 40 home runs in the process. Only one of those blasts traveled farther than the one he hit on April 14 at Globe Life Field in Texas. Rangers starter Dane Dunning threw a slider on the outside corner that Trout had no trouble driving to straightaway center field. The baseball left Trout’s bat at 112.9 mph and bounced off the batter’s eye, 472 feet from home plate. It missed landing in the seats above the batter’s eye by just a few feet.

4. 473 feet: May 18, 2019, at Angel Stadium

Trout’s longest home run to date at Angel Stadium came in 2019 — one highlight in an MVP season that was filled with them. The home run, his 10th of the campaign, was hit on May 18 against Jakob Junis and the Royals. Trout put a no-doubt swing on a high fastball from Junis, sending the ball 473 feet deep into the seats in left-center. The home run had an exit velocity of 112.8 mph.

3. 477 feet: July 8, 2015, at Coors Field

The oldest home run on this list came way back on July 8, 2015, during a contest at home run-friendly Coors Field. Trout connected with a fastball from Chris Rusin, driving the baseball deep to left-center field. The baseball left Trout’s bat at 113.7 mph and the homer measured 477 feet, landing in the seats in a part of the park that batters seldom reach.

2. 486 feet: September 5, 2019, at Oakland Coliseum

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the 45 home runs that Trout hit during his 2019 MVP season is that he appeared in only 134 games — meaning that he hit a home run every 2.98 games throughout the campaign. The longest of these was the 45th, coming in Oakland on September 5. During a third-inning at-bat, Trout drove the first pitch he saw from Brett Anderson deep to straightaway center field, reaching the seats above the batter’s eye. The baseball left Trout’s bat at 111.1 mph and flew 486 feet, making it the fourth-longest home run in the big leagues that season.

1. 490 feet: October 5, 2022, at Oakland Coliseum

The Oakland Coliseum played host to Trout’s longest career home run to date. The memorable blast came on October 5, 2022, when the slugger ripped a low fastball from A’s right-hander Norge Ruiz, driving the baseball 490 feet into the seats above the batter’s eye. It was his 40th of 40 home runs that season, his 350th career home run, and the fifth-longest home run hit in the big leagues in 2022. The home run had an exit velocity of 110.6 mph.
