Watch: Chad Pinder Hit a Mammoth 460-Foot Homer
By Kyle Koster
Oakland’s Chad Pinder crushed a two-run homer against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. It traveled 460 feet, according to Statcast.
Statcast says 460 feet on the Pinder HR.

If it’s possible for an estimate of 460 feet to feel like a shortchange, this feels like a shortchange.
A's say Pinder's homer believed to be just the third home run hit into the plaza reserve (Larry Walker, '99; and Mark McGwire, '96).

You buying 460? If not, feel free to jump on board my baseless 500-foot theory.
