The home run wasn’t just impressive to watch, but it was also the longest of Trout’s already historic career.

Using an amazing tool from ESPN called the Home Run Tracker, I am going to pull out the 10 longest home runs of 2013 in terms of true distance. This is defined as the distance the ball would have traveled if it had continued traveling down to the field level without being impeded by bleachers or fans. Home runs require a combination of strength and accuracy.

Luke Voit, New York Yankees: 453 feet

Here are the longest homers of the 2013 season. Not bad for a player whose hip concerns this past offseason delayed his free agent deal. Considering that Cobb has a 2.73 ERA on the season, Rasmus’ long ball is even more impressive. Let’s take a look at the 10 longest home run blasts of the 2013 season. Will Schwarber ever square a ball up this well again?

According to ESPN Home Run Tracker, Gattis' long ball beat the second-farthest home run of the year by 10 feet. When the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox meet this season at the Rogers Centre, the deep blasts continue to fly. If players want to see just how far they can hit a home run this season, it seems like the Rogers Centre is the place to give it a try. That was the scene on May 21 when Pablo Sandoval smashed a two-run home run in the 10th inning off Yunesky Maya of the Washington Nationals. The home run was his second hit of the game, and his eighth home run of the season. The Home Run Derby showcases the best sluggers in the game.

It was quite a weird taste for him, too. The backstop obviously slugged one of the longest postseason home runs of the Statcast era, and he didn’t stop there. Chad Pinder is another guy I wouldn’t expect to be on here, but I love it.

"When you're not used to that many reporters and all of their things tied together in front of you, you know, their microphones. It's pretty intimidating." The media descended on Mile High the next day -- wanting to talk to the man who reached heights never reached before. You get the feeling Meyer, modest and soft-spoken over the phone, was almost frightened by the attention. Overwhelmed by his own power. "The first one I hit barely went over the fence, so everybody on the other team was yelling cheapie and all that," Meyer said.

Napoli’s 460-foot home run was his fourth home run of calculated at 460 feet or more, the most such home runs this year. No other player even had three such home runs. On May 22, Cabrera hit a fly ball to the center-field wall at Progressive Field. Trout hit the longest home run of the season at two different ballparks -- Kauffman Stadium and Tropicana Field .

Meyer reared back and connected with a breaking ball from reliever Mike Murphy -- sending it deep into the Denver darkness. The ball kept going up and up until it hit halfway up the second deck of Mile High Stadium -- a place very few baseballs go. If you watch the video, the camera can't even follow it that high. Meyer admits he never saw where it landed. When Meyer came up for the at-bat in question that night, he had already homered. But players on the field thought it had only gone out because of the thin Rocky Mountain air.

I’ll have to say no, but then again, the left-handed slugger is fully capable of doing so. Is it shocking that the Braves won the World Series during Freeman’s best postseason performance? No, not at all. The first baseman didn’t post an OPS lower than .996 in any of the three rounds he and Atlanta participated in. "The following day, there were so many reporters there," Meyer recalled.

If the visiting team launches one, it can silence 30,000-40,000 people in a single moment. But if that tater is slugged by the home team, stadiums feel like they start to shake. Had Bourn not made contact, the ball would have traveled only 386 feet and would not have been a home run in any major league park.

Instead, the ball ricocheted off his glove for a home run. You know a home run traveled far when even the fans sitting in the outfield have to turn around to see where it lands. The home run eventually won the game for the Cincinnati Reds, and was the seventh longest home run in the history of Great American Ball Park. The home run saw Wright take a fastball yard while Kimbrel blew just his 13th career save opportunity. Not much has gone right for the Houston Astros this season, but J.D. Martinez’s 464-foot home run off Max Scherzer helped the Astros avoid a sweep at the hands of the Detroit Tigers.

But not all home runs are created equally. Speaking of Holliday, he had three of the 10 longest home runs in the 2013 postseason. His longest was a 430-foot home run off Ryan Dempster in Game 1 of the World Series. Only Matt Holliday has had more home runs calculated at 460 feet or more in a season .

Maybe it's the Sultan of Swat, the King of Crash. Babe Ruth had a bunch of moonshots over his baseball-wrecking career. Some ended up in alligator ponds, some cleared fence after fence after fence until there were no more fences left to clear. The 2013 regular season is over and players hit 4,661 home runs.

In his first full season as a big leaguer, he nearly joined the club with 41 homers and 37 stolen bases. According to the White Sox's official Twitter account, the gargantuan blast traveled an estimated 475 feet. The event did happen more than 34 years ago, so it's hard to fault Tennyson for not remembering exactly how he got the number 582. Not being a fan of baseball, he also said he was just focused on getting an exact measurement and not taking home run history into consideration at all.
