Baseball has that irresistible charm, where the crack of the bat echoes and fans gaze as the ball sails over the fence.
The 2024 regular season was no different for the Milwaukee Brewers, who delighted fans with 177 blasts into the stands. Today, we’re diving into the five longest home runs the Brewers slugged this season, taking a closer look at some scoreboard-targeted shots that were as spectacular as they were powerful.
#5: Jake Bauers, 444 feet
On June 26th, Jake Bauers launched a rocket off Rangers’ Nathan Eovaldi, clocking in at a blistering 108.0-mph exit velocity.
This towering drive during the Brewers’ grand slam spree of June slapped against the scoreboard in center field. It was a pivotal moment, boosting the Brewers to an early 4-1 lead, eventually sealing the win in extra innings.
Although it left a mark on the board, it didn’t quite rattle a panel off.
#4: Willy Adames, 446 feet
Known for his punchy three-run homers in 2024, Willy Adames brought some major power against Toronto’s Tim Mayza on June 12th.
With a 105.9-mph exit velocity, Adames smacked a two-run homer that danced off the scoreboard, enhancing the Brewers’ lead to 5-1. While it didn’t shatter any panels, it did add to the growing legend of scoreboard-seeking hits.
#3: Christian Yelich, 446 feet
Coors Field is famous for its high-octane offensive displays, yet on July 3rd, Christian Yelich simply focused on quality over quantity.
His rocket against Dakota Hudson of the Rockies—boasting a 111.9-mph exit velocity—kicked off the Brewers’ 3-0 victory with style. Though tied in distance with Adames, Yelich takes the edge for sheer speed.
And yes, folks, launching homers in Colorado might just have its own altitude assist, but do we mind? Not one bit.
#2: William Contreras, 448 feet
April showers bring… mammoth homers, apparently.
William Contreras showed some serious muscle against Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller. His first-inning blast, traveling to left-center with a molten-hot 114.4-mph exit velocity, set the stage for a Brewers lead from the get-go.
This one may not have etched into the scoreboard’s history, but it certainly made its mark on the season.
#1: Jackson Chourio, 449 feet
When Jackson Chourio stepped up on August 27th against the Giants’ Logan Webb, the ballpark held its breath.
At a staggering 109.7-mph exit velocity, Chourio sent the longest Brewers home run of the season soaring—not just over the field but right into franchise lore by cracking the scoreboard itself. This hit was more than just points on the board; it was a showcase of raw, unfiltered power that’ll be remembered for seasons to come.
There you have it—the Brewers’ top longest blasts of 2024, each one a testament to both skill and strength, leaving fans eagerly awaiting those next thrilling moonshots.
