A look at the longest home runs for the Brewers in 2024

From a grand slam to a scoreboard breaker, here are the longest home runs of 2024

One of the most enjoyable parts of a baseball season is watching home runs fly out of a ballpark. In the 2024 regular season, the Brewers hit 177 of them. Today, we are going to take a look at the five home runs that traveled the furthest this season. Included in this post is a look at what it would take to break the Brewers’ scoreboard, since two of these hit off of the panels.

#5: Jake Bauers, 444 feet

June 26 vs. Nathan Eovaldi (Rangers)
108.0-mph exit velocity

Remember the Brewers’ binge of grand slams in June? That was a fun time. This was the longest of those home runs, hitting off the scoreboard in center field as the Brewers took an early 4-1 lead in that game. They would go on to win the game in extra innings. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t tell us much about the strength of the scoreboard since it hit just below the panels.

#4: Willy Adames, 446 feet

June 12 vs. Tim Mayza (Toronto)
105.9-mph exit velocity

While he was known for his three-run home runs in 2024, Willy Adames’ longest home run was of the two-run variety. He hit one off the scoreboard against the Blue Jays, increasing the Brewers’ lead in the game to 5-1. Even though this one hit off the scoreboard, it didn’t break a panel. That gives us an idea of what it would take to break one of those panels, as we’ll see a little later.

#3: Christian Yelich, 446 feet

July 3 vs. Dakota Hudson (Rockies)
111.9-mph exit velocity

It seems rare to have a low-offense game in Colorado, but that’s what happened in this game. In a 3-0 win Christian Yelich got the scoring going with a solo shot in the first inning, one that left the park quickly and put the Brewers up 1-0. It’s tied in distance with Adames, but since this one had the better exit velocity, we’ll give it the tiebreaker. Of course, it also was in Colorado, so does that qualify as being ballpark-assisted?

#2: William Contreras, 448 feet

April 25 vs. Mitch Keller (Pittsburgh)
114.4-mph exit velocity

Though it was fellow catcher Gary Sánchez who had the more important home run, William Contreras had the more powerful of the two. Just two batters into the game, Contreras sent this one out to left-center for an early 1-0 Brewers lead.

#1: Jackson Chourio, 449 feet

August 27 vs. Logan Webb (Giants)
109.7-mph exit velocity

A common theme for these home runs that happened at home is that they hit off the scoreboard. However, this was the only one that broke the scoreboard. Jackson Chourio showed off his power with this home run, hitting a mammoth one that ended up being the longest home run for the Brewers this season. It also wasn’t too hard to tell where this home run hit, as Chourio broke the panel of the scoreboard, leaving a mark that would stay up there for a few days.
