The Yankees' potent lineup is sure to generate plenty of home runs in 2020, but none will fly further than Mike Ford's dinger on Monday, at least according to Statcast data.
New York's first baseman belted a solo home run in the ninth inning against the Phillies on Monday night, ending the exhibition in a 2-2 tie. Ford's home landed deep into the right field bleachers, but per Statcast data, the home run traveled a whole lot further.
Ford's homer was measured at 680 feet, which would clearly be the longest home run in Yankee Stadium history.
