In this list, we’re counting down the 10 longest home runs at Dodger Stadium through the 2022 season. It’s important to note that these home runs are only from 2015 onward, when MLB’s Statcast began to officially track the distance of each MLB home run. This list includes one of baseball’s most prolific leadoff home run hitters, one of the brightest young stars in the game and a player who has hit record-setting home runs at more than one MLB park.

When you think of big moments at Dodger Stadium, you might think of Kirk Gibson’s walk-off home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series or Fernando Valenzuela’s no-hitter in 1990. While nothing tops these moments, the stadium has served as the backdrop for many long and impressive home runs, too.
Here’s a look at the 10 longest home runs at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
9 (t). Yasiel Puig — 450 feet
Outfielder Yasiel Puig hit a career-high 28 home runs for the Dodgers in 2017, with the longest of those coming at home on May 28. Puig smacked a hanging slider from Héctor Rondón 450 feet deep into the seats in left-center field. The home run, Puig’s ninth of the season, had an exit velocity of 107 mph.
9 (t). Jayson Werth — 450 feet
With his Nationals team leading 4-3 in the ninth inning of Game 3 of the 2016 National League Division Series, Jayson Werth homered off a cut fastball from closer Kenley Jansen to extend the lead by a run. The towering home run traveled 450 feet, landing in the upper third of the seats in left-center field. Werth’s bomb, his only of the series, had an exit velocity of 110.5 mph. The Nats ended up winning the game but lost the series in five games.
7 (t). Enrique Hernández — 451 feet
The home run that Enrique Hernández hit off Madison Bumgarner at Dodger Stadium on April 15, 2016, was his first of the season — and the longest of his career to date. Hernández drove a fastball from Bumgarner 451 feet into the seats in center field, just left of the batter’s eye. The blast had an exit velocity of 109.2 mph.
7 (t). Joc Pederson — 451 feet
Joc Pederson hit his fifth home run of 2015 at Dodger Stadium in fine fashion, smashing a low changeup from Rubby De La Rosa 451 feet for a grand slam. The blast left Pederson’s bat at 108 mph and landed in right-center field. Pederson ended up hitting 26 home runs that season, en route to earning a spot in his first career All-Star Game.

6. George Springer — 452 feet
Outfielder George Springer has hit tape measure blasts at many parks throughout the big leagues, including Minute Maid Park, T-Mobile Park and Target Field. His longest at Dodger Stadium was his 19th of 2018, hit on August 5. Springer lifted a fastball from Walker Buehler deep to straightaway center field, driving the baseball off the batter’s eye, 452 feet from home plate. The feat came on the first pitch of the game and was Springer’s 24th career leadoff home run.
4 (t). Manny Machado — 453 feet
Manny Machado’s offensive stats helped him to earn his third career All-Star Game nod in 2016 and finish fifth in the American League MVP voting. The infielder hit 37 home runs, but none traveled farther than his July 5 blast at Dodger Stadium. Machado drilled a hanging curveball from Kenta Maeda high into the seats in left field, 453 feet from home plate. The home run had an exit velocity of 108.7 mph.
4 (t). Chad Pinder — 453 feet
Oakland’s Chad Pinder had a memorable home run in Game 2 of the 2020 American League Division Series. With Dodger Stadium filled with cardboard cutouts instead of fans during the pandemic-shortened season and serving as a neutral host site for the series, Pinder jumped on a pitch from Houston’s Framber Valdez and hit the baseball 453 feet to right-center field. Despite the home run, Pinder and the A’s fell in both the game and the series.
3. Alex Verdugo — 459 feet
The longest home run of Alex Verdugo’s career to date came in Los Angeles on June 15, 2019. The outfielder launched a middle-of-the-zone fastball from Yu Darvish 459 feet, deep into the seats in right-center field. The home run had an exit velocity of 109 mph and was the fifth home run of the season for Verdugo, who ended up hitting 12.
2. Fernando Tatis Jr. — 467 feet
The 2021 season served as the breakout for Fernando Tatis Jr., who hit 42 home runs and was an NL All-Star and Silver Slugger Award winner. His final home run of the campaign was one of his longest — a 467-foot shot at Dodger Stadium off a slider from Tony Gonsolin. The ball landed on top of the pavilion roof in left-center field after leaving Tatis Jr.’s bat with an exit velocity of 116.6 mph. It was his hardest-hit ball of the season and the 16th-hardest-hit ball in the big leagues in 2021.
1. Giancarlo Stanton — 475 feet
The longest home run at Dodger Stadium in the Statcast era fittingly belongs to Giancarlo Stanton, who has remarkably hit one of the 10 longest home runs at more than a third of the parks in the big leagues. Stanton hit the record-setting blast off Mike Bolsinger on May 12, 2015. The 475-foot home run soared over the seats in left field, actually leaving the ballpark. The home run had an exit velocity of 114 mph and was Stanton’s eighth of 27 home runs that season.

1. Giancarlo Stanton — 475 feet
