Despite falling to Randy Arozarena in the semifinals of the 2023 Home Run Derby, Luis Robert Jr. put on a show in Seattle that could make White Sox fans proud, smashing 50 total home runs and recording the longest home run of the night at 484 feet.

That wasn’t his only accomplishment, either. Incredibly, Robert record the six farthest home runs of the entire derby, ranging from 458 feet all the way up to that 484-foot mark. Also incredibly, it somehow still wasn’t the longest home run he’s ever hit, falling three feet short of the quasi-legendary (by the skimpy standards of White Sox playoff history) 487-foot blast he deposited in the outfield upper deck of the Oakland Coliseum in the 2020 Wild Card series.
