Summary

On September 14, 2026, Elly De La Cruz hit a 457-foot home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Great American Ball Park. This impressive blast was not enough to claim the title of the longest home run at the venue. Since the park's opening in 2003, Adam Dunn holds the record with a 535-foot shot. Other notable home runs include Juan Francisco’s 502-footer and Paul DeJong's 486-foot homer, recorded during the Statcast era. De La Cruz, however, has not yet surpassed his own record of 458 feet, achieved earlier in June 2023.
