Home Run #4

True Distance: 452
Hitter: Justin Upton
Date: April 12, 2016
Opponent: Pittsburgh Pirates
Stadium: Comerica Park
Pitcher: Juan Nicasio

Justin Upton’s first home run as a Tiger was a thunderous shot to center field that landed in the camera well. It left his bat at 109.3 mph, and would’ve been a dinger in all 30 ballparks, according to ESPN’s Home Run Tracker.

Out of Upton’s 31 homers in ’16, his first of the season was also his farthest hit.
