Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story put on a serious power display at Coors Field against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.
In the bottom of the first inning, Story gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead by taking Giants southpaw Andrew Suarez deep…while falling down.

That was nothing compared to what he did a few innings later.
Story got Suarez again in the bottom of the fourth, this time to the tune of 505 feet.

According to The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, that was the longest home run in the Statcast era:

Trevor Story’s home run tonight is the longest in the Statcast Era
. Giancarlo Stanton held the previous mark with a 504-footer in 2016. Those are the only home runs measured at 500+ feet.
It doesn’t matter where that ball was hit. Coors Field, the Grand Canyon; either way, it was long gone.
