Aaron Judge’s 469-foot home run doesn’t make his top five originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Aaron Judge sent a fastball into orbit Tuesday night in Kansas City, launching a 469-foot home run that nearly cleared the entire ballpark. It was a no-doubter off the bat. He crushed it 117.9 mph off the bat and had everyone in Kauffman Stadium in awe.
And still, it wasn’t even the longest of his career. It wasn't even in his top five.

Here’s a look at the six longest home runs of Aaron Judge’s career, all tracked by Statcast:
1. 496 feet – Sept. 30, 2017, vs. Blue Jays
Judge hit this one off Marcus Stroman at Yankee Stadium—118.3 mph off the bat. The longest homer of his MVP-winning rookie year and still the farthest of his career.
2. 495 feet – June 11, 2017, vs. Orioles
Eleven days earlier, he crushed another that nearly matched it. This one came off Logan Verrett at Yankee Stadium, clocked at 118.6 mph.
3. 477 feet – Aug. 2, 2024, vs. Blue Jays
A towering shot to dead center that had nearly identical velocity and arc to the 2017 bombs. Another Yankee Stadium blast.
4. 473 feet – May 9, 2024, vs. Astros
His longest of 2024 came just two months before the Kansas City shot. He went deep into the left-field seats.
5. 470 feet – Sept. 12, 2024, at Fenway Park
A three-run shot out of the ballpark in left field. This one got Red Sox fans quiet in a hurry. The ball cleared the Monster and then some.
6. 469 feet – June 11, 2025, at Kauffman Stadium
Tuesday night’s rocket barely missed cracking Judge’s top five. Still, it might have been his loudest of the year.
According to Statcast, Judge has now hit 12 home runs of 465 feet or longer. That is the second-most in baseball behind his teammate Giancarlo Stanton.
