Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Piazza, Fernando Tatis Jr., Mark McGwire, and Willie Stargell are the only players who have hit home runs out of Dodger Stadium, with Stargell holding the record for the longest at 506 feet. Shohei Ohtani is viewed as a strong candidate to achieve this feat given his power and play environment, having come close with a 473-foot hit. Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in Ohtani's ability to accomplish this, suggesting it could happen in upcoming games, particularly on warmer days.
"Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Piazza, Fernando Tatis Jr., Mark McGwire, and Willie Stargell are the only players to have hit home runs out of Dodger Stadium."
"Stargell hit it twice, with the longest being a 506-foot moonshot in 1969, considered the longest hit out of the stadium."
"Shohei Ohtani has multiple opportunities to hit out of Dodger Stadium, and he famously destroyed a ball 473 feet under the right field pavilion roof last season."
"Dave Roberts shared confidence in Ohtaniâs potential to hit one out, asserting that on a warmer day, it could already have happened."
