What happened: Pete Alonso's 471-foot blast on September 25 against New York ranked as the longest home run of the team's 2026 season. The drive paced a season-end recap of distance leaders, with Coby Mayo taking the second spot for a 468-foot home run hit on August 17.

Why it matters: The 471-foot blast capped a strong power campaign for Alonso, who tied the major-league RBI lead with the late-September drive. Alonso earned AL All-Star recognition in 2026 and remains a foundational middle-of-the-order bat as front-office leadership enters the offseason.

What to watch: Baltimore enters the winter exploring trade market options for pitching and outfield depth while keeping Alonso anchored in the lineup.
