Happy holidays, baseball fans. As our gift to you, we’re back with the tradition we are determined to make happen: our yearly list of every team’s longest home run of the season just past.
Admittedly, we always think these lists make for good gifts, but we have a pretty good one for you this year. Both MVPs and eight Silver Sluggers are on the list, but 2025 was also quite a year for the out-of-left-field home run kings — in addition to the six rookies, 11 of 32 guys (yes, 32) on the list played fewer than 100 games in 2025. Below you’ll find three players who hit at least 50 home runs in 2025 but 10 who were in single digits, and one player’s only Major League home run is the one that led his team this year. The lifetime experience of players on the list ranges, impressively, from 1,894 big league games all the way down to 40.
We also come bearing good news — Coors Field is back in a big way. Six teams hit their longest home run at Coors Field in 2024; this year that number was up to 11, including the Rockies. That does, of course, mean one team accounts for about a third of the opposing pitchers, and yet somehow, every home run listed below was hit off a different arm.
Without further ado, here is every team’s longest home run of the 2025 season.
Blue Jays: Daulton Varsho — Aug. 5 at COL
Distance: 467 feet (Watch it)
When we said Coors would be coming up a fair bit in this one, we weren’t kidding. We can’t exactly say we’re surprised the Blue Jays’ entry came out of this series for a number of reasons — they spent three days in Denver this summer and managed to hit 13 home runs (two of which were Varsho’s) while outscoring the Rockies 45-6.
Orioles: Jordan Westburg — July 5 at ATL
Distance: 461 feet (Watch it)
Westburg actually just snuck into the Orioles’ top 10 since tracking began in 2015 with this 461-footer off Aaron Bummer; his was also the longest home run hit by an Oriole in nearly two years, since Ryan Mountcastle hit a 472-footer on Aug. 8, 2023.
Rays: Jonathan Aranda — June 28 at BAL
Distance: 467 feet (Watch it)
Junior Caminero, at 22, hit 45 home runs for the Rays in 2025. Brandon Lowe hit 31; Yandy Diaz hit 25. But the one to rule them all — the 467-foot blast that stands as the third-longest by a Rays hitter since 2015 — was hit by low-key breakout Aranda.
Red Sox: Rob Refsnyder — Sept. 9 at ATH
Distance: 463 feet (Watch it)
Maybe not who we expected to be representing Boston on this particular leaderboard, but then again, “defying expectations” was the Red Sox’s whole deal in 2025. Refsnyder actually had the shortest average home run distance of any player on this list (391.2 feet; the group overall averaged 405.6) and hit only nine home runs on the year; his 463-footer hit as part of a four-run first inning on Sept. 9 was No. 8.
Yankees: Aaron Judge — June 10 at KC
Distance: 469 feet (Watch it)
It’s not actually a given that Judge will lead the Yankees in this category (although he has in five of the last nine seasons) but it is, generally, a pretty safe bet. The 469-footer — also the hardest-hit in 2025 at 117.9 mph — was home run No. 24 of 53 for the man who now has four 50-HR seasons to his name, tied for the most in MLB history.
Guardians: Jhonkensy Noel — May 1 vs. MIN
Distance: 450 feet (Watch it)
Noel had a tough 2025 season, about half of which was spent in Triple-A, but clearly his power isn’t the problem — of three 450+ foot home runs hit by the Guardians since the beginning of the 2024 season, he’s responsible for two, one of which was this one off Simeon Woods-Richardson in May. (Noel was designated for assignment by Cleveland last week.)
Royals: Jac Caglianone — July 9 vs. PIT
Distance: 466 feet (Watch it)
Caglianone’s ridiculous Minor League production didn’t immediately translate upon his June debut, but his power did make the trip. His 466-footer off Bailey Falter now stands as the longest home run hit by a Royals rookie since 2015 and was one of four on this list hit at Kauffman Stadium this year, second only, obviously, to Coors.
Tigers: Riley Greene — Aug. 26 at ATH
Distance: 471 feet (Watch it)
You can’t really ask for much more than Greene’s work here. A grand slam hit with two outs in a 3-0 deficit? Already iconic. But this homer, hit off A’s right-hander Oswaldo Bido, also took over as the Tigers’ longest since 2015, breaking a record set by J.D. Martinez that same year (and later tied by Jeimer Candelario in 2019.)
Twins: Byron Buxton — June 11 vs. TEX
Distance: 479 feet (Watch it)
As part of his most prolific season since 2017, Buxton once again led the Twins in this category, and it wasn’t close, either — the next-longest was a 458-footer hit by Carlos Correa on May 6.
White Sox: Michael A. Taylor — July 5 at COL
Distance: 464 feet (Watch it)
Taylor recently retired after 12 Major League seasons, and while we won’t remember him primarily for his power, he definitely had some. This actually marks the third time Taylor has made this particular leaderboard; he led the Twins with a 468-footer in 2023 and the Nationals with a 493-footer in 2015. Both of those home runs? Also hit at Coors.
Angels: Mike Trout — Sept. 20 at COL
Distance: 485 feet (Watch it)
We’re spending a lot of time looking back on his prime, but Trout hasn’t forgotten how to put on a show, when his health allows — not only was this home run the Angels’ longest of 2025 (and their fourth longest since 2015), it was also the 400th of his career. (Note: Trout also hit a 484-foot home run in April, giving him the second- and third-longest home runs in MLB this past season.)
Astros: Shay Whitcomb — July 2 at COL
Distance: 451 feet (Watch it)
This may honestly be your first introduction to Whitcomb, the greenest team leader with just 78 MLB plate appearances to his name. This was, as previously hinted, Whitcomb’s first (and so far only) Major League home run, and accounts for his only RBI in 2025.
Athletics: Nick Kurtz — Sept. 13 vs. CIN
Distance: 493 feet (Watch it)
Not just the longest home run hit in 2025 but also the longest hit by an Athletic since tracking began in 2015. And, to top it all off, it was a grand slam. All very appropriate for a 36-HR debut season that earned him unanimous AL Rookie of the Year honors.
Mariners: Cole Young — July 31 vs. TEX
Distance: 456 feet (Watch it)
Not long ago, Young was the top-ranked prospect in Seattle’s system, but his power, ironically, is his least-touted tool. Despite the 22-year-old hitting just four home runs this season (and the fact that a certain teammate of his hit 60), his third big-league home run off Kumar Rocker sits atop the Mariners’ 2025 ranks.
Rangers: Jake Burger — June 5 at TB
Distance: 442 feet (Watch it)
Burger’s was the shortest of the longest home runs. A bit of a dubious honor, but an honor nonetheless, and not bad for his introductory season in a Rangers uniform.
Braves: Ronald Acuña Jr. — July 28 at KC
Distance: 468 feet (Watch it)
Injuries once again denied us a full season of Acuña, but even limited to 95 games, he managed to hit the second-most 450-foot home runs in baseball, with his 468-footer off Rich Hill (who made all of two starts in 2025) being No. 3 of four.
Marlins: Eric Wagaman — Aug. 17 at BOS
Distance: 453 feet (Watch it)
You may not know Wagaman, the 28-year-old rookie who took over at first base in Miami this year, but you definitely know the player on the other side of this interaction — his 453-foot, 110.9-mph home run here was his only blemish on an otherwise sparkling Garrett Crochet outing.
Mets: Ronny Mauricio — June 7 at COL
Distance: 456 feet (Watch it)
The Mets had three players reach the 30-homer mark in 2025. But rather than Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor or Juan Soto, their longest home run was Mauricio’s first — of an ultimate six — on the year.
Nationals: James Wood — June 13 vs. MIA and June 21 at LAD
Distance: 451 feet (Watch June 13 HR / Watch June 21 HR)
It’s interesting enough that Wood hit two of these that remained atop the Nationals’ leaderboard through the end of the season, but it actually gets weirder — these home runs also clocked in at almost the same exit velocity (the June 13 homer left his bat at 113.0 mph; the June 21 shot measured 113.1 mph), at quite similar launch angles (25°, 27°) and to almost the exact same spot in the ballpark.
Phillies: Kyle Schwarber — Sept. 24 vs. MIA
Distance: 468 feet (Watch it)
So… who hit the most 450-foot home runs in 2025? Predictably, it was Schwarber, who had five — matching or exceeding the totals of 25 teams. His team-leading 468-footer was also his 56th and final home run of the regular season, an undeniably neat finale.
Brewers: Christian Yelich — Aug. 31 at COL
Distance: 465 feet (Watch it)
We were treated to a 29-HR, 103-RBI season from Yelich this year, as his health allowed, and Coors shot or not, it is worth noting that this 465-ft home run was his longest since he launched one 499 feet on Sept. 6, 2022 (… also in Denver.)
Cardinals: Alec Burleson — July 19 at AZ / Willson Contreras — July 21 at COL
Distance: 443 feet (Watch it)
There is, of course, an element of randomness to hitting a real moonshot, but had you asked them to isolate the week during which they’d hit their longest home runs of 2025, the Cardinals probably would have circled this six-game road trip through Arizona and Colorado. (Ironically, they still went 1-5 on this swing.)
Cubs: Michael Busch — Aug. 29 at COL
Distance: 466 feet (Watch it)
By virtue of the AL-first, east-to-west organization we default to, the end of the list is going to be… Coors-heavy. Busch, for example, has hit three 450+ foot home runs in his MLB career, all at Coors, all within the same 12 month period; a 453-footer on Sept. 13, 2024, one at 468 feet two days later, and finally this 466-foot blast off Victor Vodnik on Aug. 29.
Pirates: Alexander Canario — Aug. 31 at BOS
Distance: 471 feet (Watch it)
To put the Pirates’ 117-home run season in context, we’ve settled on the following: not only did they end the year with 31 fewer home runs than any other team, three clubs (the Yankees, Dodgers and Mariners) hit at least twice as many. Somehow, one of the precious 117 was a 471-footer hit by a former Cubs prospect (Canario, in case that wasn’t clear) that in fact tied for the sixth longest for a Pirate since 2015.
Reds: Christian Encarnacion-Strand — April 5 at MIL / Elly De La Cruz — May 27 at KC
Distance: 451 feet (Watch Encarnacion-Strand’s HR / Watch De La Cruz’s HR)
451-foot home runs are the only thing these two players had in common this year; between injuries and poor performance, Encarnacion-Strand played just 36 games for the Reds in 2025. De La Cruz, on the other hand, played all 162 and, excluding Whitcomb, whose average is one of one, had the longest average home run distance on the list at 423 feet (on 22 total homers.)
D-backs: Corbin Carroll — Aug. 17 at COL
Distance: 474 feet (Watch it)
Like we said, Coors Field is back, but so is Corbin Carroll, and here’s the product of their dual resurgences. This was Carroll’s 27th of an eventual 31 home runs hit as part of his first 30-30 season in 2025, which will go down in history as the year of the 30-30 season.
Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani — NLCS Game 4 vs. MIL
Distance: 469 feet (Watch it)
Do you remember this game? It was Ohtani’s three-homer, 10-strikeout game that fell, even more remarkably, during the clinching game of the NLCS? Well it’s back, because the second of those home runs was also the longest hit by a Dodger in 2025.
Giants: Willy Adames — June 11 at COL
Distance: 452 feet (Watch it)
Does this count as return on investment? Let’s say yes. Although four of five NL West teams hit their longest home run at Coors this year, the Giants have now done that in seven of 11 seasons since Statcast began tracking; in all 11, their longest home run was hit on the road.
Padres: Manny Machado — Sept. 7 at COL
Distance: 452 feet (Watch it)
It had been over three years since Machado had hit a ball this far; in fact, this home run was not just the Padres’ longest of 2025 but their longest since Sept. 24, 2023. Obviously, because baseball has a sense of humor, three innings later — in this very same game and off the very same pitcher — Machado’s teammate, Gavin Sheets, hit a 451-footer.
Rockies: Ryan McMahon — June 20 vs. AZ
Distance: 467 feet (Watch it)
It was just that kind of year in Colorado — the kind in which season records are held by players long since traded to playoff-bound teams. McMahon’s Rockies career may be over (for now, at least) but we’ll always have the memories, which include quite a few Coors Field moonshots. Like, for example, this one hit off Zac Gallen in June.
