Home run distance

Just a fun suggestion. I think it would be fun to see something that showed players home run distance of their home runs. Maybe a page to see players average home run distance?

Just an idea.

Came here to same the same thing. Its been mentioned often in the past. I seem to recall in earlier versions of the game the distance being shown in the players batting history somewhere.

Am i correct in believing the only way to check home run distance now is to go through the "game log"?

With all the new statcast numbers being shown every night on highlights, it would be a fun little add on to show a top 50 home run distance each year and keep track of the top 20 or so.

Heck, even adding exit velocity would be welcome.

100% agree. I'd like to see, as a fun little thing, who's hitting the average longest home runs and who has the highest average exit velocity.

HR distance used to show, but it was purely cosmetic based off the stadium's dimensions. So like if you set a fence at 1000ft, but didn't change the park factors, guys would hit like 1100ft homers.
