Elly De La Cruz hits 457-foot homer in loss to Dodgers

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz hit a 457-foot home run in the ninth inning during the team's 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on September 15, 2026. This impressive shot raised questions among fans regarding its ranking among the longest home runs at Great American Ball Park (GABP). Historical records indicate that the longest home run at GABP belongs to Adam Dunn, who hit a 535-foot homer back on August 10, 2004. Other notable long shots include Juan Francisco’s 502-foot homer in 2011 and Wily Mo Peña’s 498-foot blast in 2005. De La Cruz has previously matched this distance with another 457-foot homer earlier in his career.
