WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT for the FARTHEST BASEBALL EVER HIT | with

Can we hit a baseball nearly 600 feet if we have the best possible hitting conditions?
6,200 FEET ELEVATION.
JUICED COMPOSITE BATS.
JUICED MLB BASEBALLS.
Today we're joined by @KingofJUCO, @theswingman9437, and former MLB player Ryan Klesko to see if we can come anywhere close to Joey Meyer's historic 582-foot blast!
Last year's attempt (Colorado): • GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS...
A huge thanks to @justbats for helping make this event happen.

The current hardest hit baseball in MLB statcast history, a ball hit by O'Neal Cruz of the Pirates on 4/20/2022, had an exit velo of 122.4 mph. With this exit velocity, a baseball hit at the perfect launch angle and in a vacuum would travel 1002 feet (Cruz didn't hit it at a perfect launch angle, he hit it at a low launch angle, so it didn't even leave the park). Now obviously you can't hit baseballs in a vacuum because you would need a pressure suit, and you wouldn't be able to swing a bat with enough power while wearing one. But the closest you can get to this would be traveling to actual high elevation, the kind of elevation that puts this baseball field to shame. My suggestion would be Ecuador, which has high elevation combined with hot temperatures and available baseball fields. The hot temperatures are relevant because they also reduce air density -- hot air is less dense than cold air -- so baseballs will go even further. The terrain in Ecuador also provides enough flat land at high elevation to build baseball fields on. Ecuador's capital Quito is well over 9000 feet in elevation and located on the equator, and Ecuador has towns accessible by road that are higher than Quito.

one of the nicest people ive ever met too

[@swirvkat4830]

Has always been one of my favorites as well

[@sea4our]

probably because he was apart of that RIDICULOUS Braves dynasty. I feel like he just got lumped into a roster of absolute LEGENDS, when he was above average himself. my stepdad was a huge Braves fan at the time. i remember when Klesko came back from injury and started dominating back in like 93'.

[@bran1886]

Very true, seeing him swing a bat was really cool, as a kid my older brother's team was the Braves.

They use CGI or editing tricks there’s no way these clowns are hitting a baseball 500 feet let alone 580 feet further than Babe Ruth bullshit world record and it won’t count anyways because you know they’re using quart aluminum bats they’re doing it at altitude in the desert where the air is super dry and super thin. They’re not doing it in a major league ballpark against major league pitching in a game.

[@idontgotnothin]

Congratulations Will! I know your going to be itching to break the record next year.

[@eyeonsquatch]

Back in 2001, I watched Ryan Klesko hit a couple homers against the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. Then another two homer game a few weeks later at Qualcomm Stadium. I've been working summers at Yellowstone National Park the last few years and we'll head to Jackson Hole to get a taste of civilization once in a while. It's really cool to see he's doing well and keeping the baseball life going strong and it's interesting how small the world can be watching him as a kid and sharing the same space as him now as an adult.

Yeah Schwarber hit a massive shot in the 2016 playoffs that ended up on top of the scoreboard in Wrigley.

[@jefffawcett]

It was obviously not 580 feet they just made that up. They asked a civil engineer to make a projection so it’s not like it was measured officially. The guy just said let’s call at 580 feet, required assumptions on velocity on the trajectory on angle when it hit the stands. The wall in left center at mile high stadium is at 366 feet. To assume a ball that landed in the upper deck would actually have traveled 216 feet past the is a serious stretch.

[@lastplayer5838]

But in MLB they use wood bats, this guy used an aluminum bat for the 580 ft

[@r.jguerra5526]

​@@lastplayer5838They also used the most juiced up bats in the market with high elevation and perfect weather conditions, they aren't as strong or as powerful as big leaguers, they just tried hitting it as far as possible.

[@vladimpala1859]

Awesome video! Absolute BOMBS. If your machine can throw breaking balls, you might consider some attempts against a curveball...your swing will be adding to the backspin already on the ball, rather than counteracting fastball spin and might provide the carry to get you that extra foot :D

[@CarnageVR]

You need to break the record with a wooden bat for it to actually count as a world record.

[@pnuemagger]

Jim Thome hit one that was 511ft at Jacobs Field in 1999. There’s a plaque in the ground where it landed. That’s a wood bat at a low 675’ elevation ASL… imagine how much further it would have went with a juiced bat at 6000ft elevation with a flat-brimmed hat.

The longest major league home runs: 1. Jose Conseco (540 feet), 2. Mark McGwire (538 feet), 3. Adam Dunn (535 feet), 4. Reggie Jackson (532 feet), 5. Dave Kingman (530 feet), 6. Andres Galarraga (529 feet), 7. Darryl Strawberry (525 feet), 8. Mark McGwire (523 feet), 9. Jim Tome (511 feet), 10. Nomar Mazarra (505 feet). Those are the top ten, but they didn't go back that far and I'm sure that Ruth and Mantle have hit some longer ones. 11/9/23, 10:27 a.m.
