Logan O’Hoppe hits 467-foot homer vs. Giants

SAN FRANCISCO — There’s gone, and then there’s gone. Logan O’Hoppe‘s game-tying two-run blast off Giants starter Keaton Winn in Saturday’s 4-3 Angels win at Oracle Park was nothing short of obliterated.

Winn, who had allowed a Mickey Moniak home run in the second but nothing else in his first five innings, walked his leadoff batter in the sixth and induced a flyout to right. He left a 2-1 sinker over the middle of the plate for O’Hoppe, who hammered it a Statcast-projected 467 feet at 110.1 mph off the bat. The ball landed up high in the left-field bleachers, just in front of the massive glove next to the iconic Coke bottle slide.

After the Angels tied the game on O’Hoppe’s monster shot, they took the lead in decidedly less dramatic fashion on Luis Rengifo’s flare to left-center in the seventh. That run was made possible by some heads-up baserunning from Nolan Schanuel, who drew a two-out walk, swiped his first career bag and then advanced to third on an errant throw from Giants catcher Curt Casali.

O’Hoppe’s long ball was nearly 40 feet longer than his previous career best (428 feet vs. the Guardians last September). It was also the fifth-longest home run for the Angels since 2022, the year O’Hoppe debuted. Only Shohei Ohtani (493 feet) and Mike Trout (490, 473 and 472 feet) are in front of O’Hoppe on that list, with Trout’s 473-foot shot on April 1 in Miami registering as the team’s longest of the current season.

It’s also tied for the fourth-longest home run Oracle Park has seen since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Gary Sánchez also hit a 467-footer in ’19, and Kennys Vargas (471 feet, ’17), Jorge Alfaro (473 feet, ’19) and Ian Desmond (477 feet, ’15) round out the leaderboard.
