What happened: Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers hit a career-long 483-foot home run on the first pitch of the team's "Las Vegas Series" opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. The massive blast set the record for the longest home run of the 2026 season at Las Vegas Ballpark during a high-scoring extra-innings thriller.
Why it matters: The record-setting offensive display, which included 11 total home runs, highlighted the hitter-friendly conditions of the high-altitude Nevada venue. While the Athletics (31-34) ultimately fell 15-14 in 12 innings, the power showcase from Langeliers, Nick Kurtz, and Tyler Soderstrom signaled a potent home-field advantage for the club's temporary Las Vegas home.
By the numbers: Shea Langeliers: 483 ft HR (
What to watch: The Athletics continue their residency at Las Vegas Ballpark tonight with J.T. Ginn scheduled to face Milwaukee's Robert Gasser.
