Thanks to the wonder of the Internet, I've seen footage of just about every exceptionally long home run ever hit in the last two or three seasons. A couple of shots by Adam Dunn and Richie Sexson have always stood out to me (no surprise), but it's time to add Jayson Werth (!) to that list:

Holy shit. That's gotta be one of the longest home runs I've ever seen. I tried to go to Hit Tracker to check, but the site is down right now. I targeted Jayson Werth heavily as a late sleeper in all my leagues, and he's currently on pace for a .271/34/97 line with 23 steals. Not bad for a guy I got as late as the 16th round.
But before anyone thinks I'm gloating about my fantasy baseball acumen, I should also point out that I targeted Jonathan Sanchez heavily as a late round sleeper too.
