With one swing of the bat, Miami Marlins outfielder Jesus Sanchez found his way onto one of the more exciting MLB offensive leaderboards.

In the bottom of the sixth inning of the Marlins' series opener against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday at loanDepot Park, Sanchez clobbered a Jakob Junis changeup deep into the right-center field seats. It was measured at 480 feet—the longest home run of the 2024 MLB season.

Sanchez's blast was his 13th homer of the season, just one short of his career high of 14 that he's reached twice in his career in 2021 and '23. The dinger was the 11th homer of the 2024 MLB campaign to be measured over 470 feet.
