Tyler Callihan demolishes his first career home run 427 feet OUT OF THE BALLPARK 😳 https://t.co/CxDPo3UUmp

What happened: Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Tyler Callihan recorded his first career Major League home run on Thursday night, a 427-foot solo shot that cleared the stadium. The milestone hit came against Los Angeles Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani at PNC Park, marking a significant personal achievement for the 25-year-old.

Why it matters: The home run is a breakthrough for Callihan, who recently returned to the majors following a 2025 season cut short by a severe forearm injury. Connecting for a milestone blast against Ohtani provides a high-leverage highlight for the Pirates as they navigate the June schedule. The ball was hit so far it was reported to have left the ballpark entirely, landing near the Allegheny River.

By the numbers: Home run distance: 427 feet; Pitcher: Shohei Ohtani; 2026 season average: .200.

What to watch: Callihan will look to maintain his spot in the lineup as the Pirates conclude their series against the Dodgers.
