List is about halfway down this page: https://wbl.dmlco.com/wp/wbl-year-ii-statistics/

Note that, per https://www.mlb.com/news/longest-hom...ast-c293547722, since 2016 there have been ... three. And none over 510ft.
I just noticed in another thread you mentioned inside the park home runs. You mentioned that you introduced some parks to your league with very large outfields. This could very well be why you're getting so many 500 foot home runs. You could create a park with the dimensions 800 feet in LF, 900 feet in RF and 1100 feet to straight away CF and guys are still going to hit home runs.
