Lazaro Montes hits 474-foot home run for Seattle Mariners
Summary

Seattle Mariners prospect Lazaro Montes hit a 474-foot home run during Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park. The drive landed on the right-center field concourse during the fourth inning, narrowing the Texas Rangers lead to 4-3. According to team broadcast data, the home run is the longest recorded at the venue during the Statcast era, which began in 2015. It also ties the mark for the longest home run hit by any player during the 2026 season. Montes, a top-100 prospect who debuted last week against the Boston Red Sox, has recorded two home runs since his promotion to the major leagues. The Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers continue their three-game series on Wednesday afternoon, with the start time moved up to avoid a conflict with the Seattle Seahawks NFL home opener.
