Apparently Shohei Ohtani’s 476-foot blast wouldn’t have been a home run at this Ohio high school

Shohei Ohtani’s 476-foot blast on Tuesday was the longest home run of the season (so far). Dead to center field and 113 miles per hour off the bat, it was gone the moment he made contact. It beat the previous longest homers of the season, which both Aaron Judge and Mike Trout recorded at 473 feet.

While it was very clearly gone and would have been a no-doubter at any ballpark in the league, there is one baseball field in which it would not have cleared the fence: Valley Forge High School in Parma, Ohio.
