The 10 Longest Career Home Runs by Ronald Acuña Jr.

It’s impossible to make a list of the most exciting players in baseball without including Ronald Acuña Jr.

A threat at the plate and on the base paths, Acuña Jr. is the first player in MLB history to hit at least 30 home runs and steal at least 60 bases in a season — doing so in 2023. He’s a perennial All-Star, a multi-time Silver Slugger Award winner and, in all likelihood, will earn his first National League MVP following the 2023 season.

In this list, we’re counting down the longest home runs of Acuña Jr.’s career, according to Statcast. (All videos appear courtesy of MLB.)

Here are the 10 longest home runs of Ronald Acuña Jr.’s career to date.

10. 456 feet: April 9, 2021, at Truist Park

Acuña Jr.’s first entry on this list came early in the 2021 season and ended up being his third-longest home run of the campaign. The young outfielder drilled a slider from Philadelphia’s Zach Wheeler deep to center field, where it landed 456 feet from home plate. The home run, which was Acuña Jr.’s third of a 24-home run season, had an exit velocity of 114.1 mph.

9. 460 feet: June 8, 2021, at Citizens Bank Park

Acuña Jr. is the proud owner of several long home runs hit at Truist Park, but he’s shown some pop in the City of Brotherly Love, too. In the third inning of a game on June 8, 2021, Acuña Jr. connected on an Aaron Nola fastball with an exit velocity of 116 mph. The ball landed 460 feet from home plate in the second-last row of the second deck in left field — an area that baseballs rarely visit at CBP. The blast was his 18th of the season.

8. 463 feet: August 2, 2019, at Truist Park

The 463-foot shot that Acuña Jr. hit on August 2, 2019, was his second-longest home run of the season — and just three feet shy of being his longest. Acuña Jr. absolutely teed up a slider from Cincinnati’s Alex Wood, connecting with an exit velocity of 115.9 mph and driving the baseball to the top of the seats in left-center field. The home run was Acuña Jr.’s 26th of the 41 he hit in 2019.

6 (t). 464 feet: June 7, 2022, at Truist Park

The curveball that Oakland’s Cole Irvin threw to Acuña Jr. on June 7, 2022, didn’t stand a chance. The outfielder clobbered the low pitch, lifting it high into the Atlanta night and sending it 464 feet to left-center field. The home run left Acuña Jr.’s bat at 113.8 mph and was his fifth of the season.

6 (t). 464 feet: June 3, 2023, at Chase Field

The 2023 MLB season will be one that Acuña Jr. remembers for a long time, thanks to his impressive, record-setting output. His 12th homer of the campaign came at Chase Field in Phoenix, as Acuña Jr. connected with a slider from Drey Jameson. The baseball sailed to the concourse behind the left-center field feet after leaving his bat at 112.6 mph.

5. 466 feet: May 10, 2019, at Chase Field

Of the 41 home runs that Acuña Jr. hit in 2019, none traveled farther than his eighth of the season — a mammoth blast at Chase Field that came off Yoan Lopez. Lopez left a fastball over the heart of the plate that Acuña Jr. clobbered with an exit velocity of 112.7 mph. The baseball soared 466 feet to center field, where it bounced off the batter’s eye.

4. 470 feet: May 10, 2023, at Truist Park

The longest home run of Acuña Jr.’s 2023 season came on May 10 against Boston, and was a towering, 470-foot shot hit off Brayan Bello. Acuña turned around a slider at 113.9 mph, sending the baseball 470 feet off the video board in left-center field. The home run was the young slugger’s seventh of the campaign.

3. 473 feet: August 26, 2020, at Truist Park

Hitting in front of a backdrop of cardboard cutout fans during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Acuña Jr. connected squarely with a fastball from New York’s Gerrit Cole on August 26. The blast, which had an exit velocity of 114 mph, landed about three-fourths of the way up the seats in left-center field.

2. 481 feet: April 27, 2021, at Truist Park

The home run that Acuña Jr. hit against Chicago’s Trevor Williams on April 27, 2021, is notable for a lot of reasons. It was Acuña’s longest home run of the season and the fourth-longest home run hit in the big leagues that year. The third baseman turned around an outside fastball with an exit velocity of 111.9 mph, pummeling the baseball 481 feet deep into the seats in left-center field for his eighth home run of the season.

1. 495 feet: September 25, 2020, at Truist Park

Acuña Jr. hit 14 home runs during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, and none was more impressive than his final one. Coming in the first inning of a game on September 25 against Boston’s Chris Mazza, the home run had an exit velocity of 112.9 mph and traveled a whopping 495 feet to nearly the top of the seats in left-center field. It’s the longest home run of Acuña Jr.’s career and the longest home run hit at Truist Park.
