LA's Seager ties Gallo for longest HR of '17
SAN FRANCISCO -- The home run Corey Seager hit leading off the sixth inning of the Dodgers' 4-3 loss to the Giants on Wednesday night was the longest of his career, estimated by Statcast™ at 462 feet.
The homer off Johnny Cueto, which broke a scoreless tie and sparked a three-run rally, matched the Rangers' Joey Gallo for the longest estimated distance of a homer this season and was the fourth-longest for a Dodger in the Statcast™ era (Joc Pederson has the other three).
Seager's home run came on a 92.2-mph fastball from Cueto, had an exit velocity of 108.9 mph and a launch angle of 26 degrees that took it nearly halfway up the bleachers in center field at AT&T Park.
