what's the farthest home run ever hit

The farthest verified home run in MLB history is generally credited to Babe Ruth’s 575-foot blast on July 18, 1921, according to Guinness World Records and MLB coverage. If you mean the farthest measured by modern Statcast , the longest is Nomar Mazara’s 505-foot home run in 2019.

What people usually mean

There are two common answers because home runs were measured differently across eras. Older legendary shots, like Ruth’s, are based on historical accounts and later recordkeeping, while Statcast distances are tracked with modern technology.

Big-name records

• Babe Ruth: 575 feet, often cited as the longest MLB home run ever.

• Nomar Mazara: 505 feet, the longest Statcast-era MLB homer.

• Joey Meyer: 582 feet, cited by FOX Sports as the longest home run ever hit in pro baseball, but in Triple-A, not MLB.

Quick scoop

So the short answer is: Babe Ruth hit the farthest MLB home run ever recognized, at 575 feet. For a modern, technology-tracked answer, Nomar Mazara’s 505-foot shot is the leader.
