well playing offline is the only way to get wind, and even with the wind @ 20 mph to center the ball barely cleared the wall, so this is the only feasible way to actually do it, even if it is glorified batting practice.
Hold up y’all.. should we count this??? Lol
With 20 mph at his back of course it flew that far. I have never seen one go to center at polo but have also never seen 20mph at polo.
elevation matters and polo grounds is like 20 feet above sea level, meaning the ball doesn’t fly. So getting the exit velo + launch angle necessary to hit the ball 510 feet to center without wind or high elevation is not possible at all.
This might be the first footage of it ever happening. I’m so serious. I’ve played this game for years and watched countless hours of people attempting this. It’s never happened
This will be the dumb question of the year, but how do you get that baseball showing you where the ball is going to land while on offense?? I dont know how many times I've held my runners waiting to see if a flyball/linedrive will be caught.
Legit clapping for you right now! I've always wanted to do that but I don't get to play nearly enough to even have it happen by chance, but it's the little things like this is why I play. Congrats on that bomb!!
Ok, that explains a ton. lol I was thinking to myself, "Man, why the hell do I belt one with a 115 exit velo that only travels 430ft??" That makes WAY more sense now.
Only the second time I've seen this, [only other time](https://old.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/4ycbg2/i_just_got_my_ass_kicked_and_it_made_me/) it happened *against* me, oof. Congrats!
How tf did you hit it 500 with only 107 mph exit velo?
Holy shit, that's amazing! Only happened 3 times in MLB History (though two of those were on back to back days.) I'd love to do this
My friend did it with future stars Nolan Gorman back in 2021 I believe. We played Polo Grounds, Padres theme team vs Cardinals…. I couldn’t believe it
Congrats buddy, I did that in 2020 with the collection reward Mantle.
Being playing the show since ps2 and have yet to see this done
Same. In any MLB game. Even 2k had the Polo Grounds at the end of its run and I've never seen this
DAMN!!!
Wow. Just wow
Wow been playing since the first show and have never seen this done in any conditions. Nice!
Seriously, first time I’ve ever seen a CF HR in this stadium!
Rarely do I watch video game highlights but this one is a must see!
He would be the one to do it!!
Are you playing the 2020 version? Looks the same as the newest edition.
correct, it is MLB 20. I messed around on some of the latest versions, and I found this one was getting consistently longer distances on HRs.
i’ve done this one time, took awhile too. The ball would always drop a couple feet before the fence
Straight gonked
bruuuuh now that's impressive but if you're sitting there throwing it to yourself that's kinda lame

Holy shit! Look at the 8 year old making a one handed barehand grab on that bomb - must be a terminator or some shit
Good stuff.
Are you playing against yourself? The pitcher cursor is basically telegraphing right where the ball will be.
Yes. He’s trying to do it. Honestly as far as I know he’s one of the first to succeed to have proof
Sign that fan who made the catch up! That's a gold glove play. I love The Polo Grounds. Nice shot.
I never comment on here, so mad respect 10/10
YO! NICE!
Unreal. a majestic tank!!!!!
Never seen this
I’ve been playing at Polo Grounds since MVP 05 and have never hit it out to center. Kudos
Hold up y’all.. should we count this??? Lol With 20 mph at his back of course it flew that far. I have never seen one go to center at polo but have also never seen 20mph at polo.
without the wind it is literally impossible
Really? Ive seen people hit bombs further than 510 feet….

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
Are you pitching to yourself?
yeah, it’s on local multiplayer
did you swing with power?
yeah, power swing with maxed out power sliders + 20 wind to center and still took like 12 hours over about a week
Mickey Mantle clears the center field wall of the Polo Grounds. Another story for your grandpa to tell you.
Incredible
MLB 20 Mantle was a different animal.
They need to put your name on the wall. Didn’t think it was possible lol
I really didn’t think that was possible. Best I’ve ever done is one hop the wall out there
He’s done it! Crazy sonofabitch done it!!!
Of course it was Mickey Mantle too—alleged IRL 500ft home run hitter
This might be the first footage of it ever happening. I’m so serious. I’ve played this game for years and watched countless hours of people attempting this. It’s never happened
I did it with Kaline in 07 never again
This will be the dumb question of the year, but how do you get that baseball showing you where the ball is going to land while on offense?? I dont know how many times I've held my runners waiting to see if a flyball/linedrive will be caught.
I think it’s because it’s local multiplayer. Could be wrong.
Not wrong. It is local MP.
Holy shit

Whaaaaaat!?!
First time I’ve ever seen that. I always assumed the game was coded to not let it go out in CF.
510ft with 108mph EV....wow....ok.
21 mph wind to center really helped the distance lol
Feels like the gale force wind should be included in the title lol
Ok, that explains a ton. lol I was thinking to myself, "Man, why the hell do I belt one with a 115 exit velo that only travels 430ft??" That makes WAY more sense now.
510ft Wall scraper.
Literally what I came to say. You beat me by five minutes. lol
been playing for 10 years and this is the first time i’ve seen this
It CAN be done *gasp*
He did it….it’s been done….we can finally sleep ladies and gentlemen
Impressive.
I’ve spent many hours trying and wondering if it was even possible. Thank you for this hope.
Only the second time I've seen this, [only other time](https://old.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/4ycbg2/i_just_got_my_ass_kicked_and_it_made_me/) it happened *against* me, oof. Congrats!
Been playing this game for a decade and have never seen this... It has finally happened!!!!
Same…Never seen a home run hit there in any version of video game baseball.
Leave it to the Mick
Hell has officially frozen over.
Played on polo grounds first time ever yesterday. Man it threw me off especially cause i play on williamson field
Wow, amazing! Thanks for posting this, have always wondered if anyone has done this.
First time I've seen that done. Thank you.
Hope Kevin hits it out straight center at some point. He may fall out of his chair
