In a 3–2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Saturday, three-time American League MVP Mike Trout supplied the offense for the Los Angeles Angels, belting a pair of solo home runs. Trout got every bit of the first homer, as he crushed the ball to the tune of a 115.4 MPH exit velocity—and the blast was initially estimated to have traveled 435 feet. An impressive home run any way you slice it.
But, oddly enough, initial estimates on Trout's home run proved to be not generous enough to the Angels slugger. Three days after the game, MLB's Statcast technology worked its magic and determined that the home run actually traveled a whopping 484 feet.
