The annual MLB Home Run Derby is a must-see event each July. But fans of the long ball shouldn’t miss the All-Star Game, which takes place a day later. While the ASG doesn’t produce the same type of tape measure home runs as the derby, towering blasts have still occurred.
In this list, we’re counting down the five longest MLB All-Star Game home runs, as per Statcast. 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. (All videos appear courtesy of MLB.)
Here’s a look at the five longest home runs in MLB All-Star Games.
5. Joey Votto — 409 feet
With his National League squad trailing 8-5 in the bottom of the 10th inning at the 2018 All-Star Game at Nationals Park, Cincinnati’s Joey Votto jumped all over the first pitch he saw from JA Happ. Playing in his sixth ASG, Votto drove the baseball 409 feet into the right field seats with an exit velocity of 102.2 mph. The home run was the only extra innings offense for the NL, which lost 8-6.
4. Kris Bryant — 410 feet
Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant got the National League on the board in the first inning of the 2016 All-Star Game at Petco Park with a 410-foot shot off Chris Sale. The home run, which had an exit velocity of 110.8 mph, smacked off the second deck facing in left-center field. This was the only home run hit by the National League side, which fell 4-2.
3. J.T. Realmuto — 430 feet
The 2021 All-Star Game at Coors Field saw multiple long home runs, including a 430-foot blast from Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto. Facing Gregory Soto with his National League squad trailing 4-0, Realmuto connected with a slider and drove the ball into the bullpen in center field. The home run had an exit velocity of 104 mph.
2. Mike Zunino — 433 feet
Mike Zunino has only been an All-Star once in his career, but the Tampa Bay catcher made the most of his roster spot in 2021 with a towering home run. Zunino caught up with a Taijuan Walker fastball and hit the baseball 433 feet with an exit velocity of 106.6 mph. The long ball made it to the second deck of Coors Field, giving his American League team a 5-1 lead.
1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — 468 feet
The longest All-Star Game home run in the Statcast era belongs to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and it may be some time before another All-Star hits a ball farther. Facing Corbin Burnes, the young Toronto slugger absolutely crushed a slider in the center of the strike zone. The baseball traveled 468 feet and landed just short of the concourse in left-center field at Coors Field. The blast, which had an exit velocity of 110.2 mph, helped to earn Guerrero Jr. MVP honors in his first of what will likely be many All-Star Game appearances.
The Five Longest MLB All-Star Game Home Runs are:
1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — 486 feet
2. Mike Zunino — 433 feet
3. J.T. Realmuto — 430 feet
4. Kris Bryant — 410 feet
5. Joey Votto — 409 feet
