Longest Home Runs in the First Half of 2016

By / October 25, 2019
I saw an article about the longest home runs in the first half of 2016 on Cut 4 today. Since today is “National Tape Measure Day” it is kind of fitting, however, I doubt Hallmark greeting cards can cash in on this. Here are the longest home runs of the first half of 2016 as well as the distances traveled. I also note whether or not the player is a confirmed user of the Pow’r Wrap bat weight. Hmm…I sense a trend here.

Last year Stanton hit one completely out of Dodger stadium:

And finally, the longest home run of the first half of 2016!

1. Nomar Mazara, May 25 – 491 feet, uses Pow’r Wrap bat weight;See: http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/591/943/hi-res-6352d196baf95187b410feca1998c67f_crop_north.jpg?w=630&h=420&q=75

You can see Mazara’s mammoth home run here:

It’s no coincidence that the players with the longest home runs in the first half of 2016 use the Pow’r Wrap bat weight. The Pow’r Wrap will work and develop the specific muscles used in hitting a baseball and with repeated usage will increase bat speed and thus give you the ability to hit the ball with more power.

(Disclaimer: None of these players expressly endorse the Pow’r Wrap bat weight.)
