Brady Slavens reacts to hitting the longest home run in Charles Schwab Park history
Brady Slavens and the Arkansas Razorbacks picked up a 3-2 win over Ole Miss on Wednesday night, staying alive in the College World Series.
Slavens, batting in the No. 8 spot in the lineup for the Hogs, played a big part in that win, hitting a home run in the top of the 5th inning.
As you can see below, this was no ordinary home run. This was an absolute bomb to dead-center field:

The ball left Slavens’ bat at 107 mph and at a 24-degree launch angle:

And, according to NCAA Baseball, Slavens is only the third player to ever hit a home run into that gap in dead center field, joining Florida’s Pete Alonso and FSU’s Dylan Busby:
Did you know⁉️ @brady_slavens is the 3rd player to ever hit a home run in any college game into the gap between the seats in CF at @CharlesSchwabFO, joining Florida's Peter Alonso and Florida State's Dylan Busby . Like Slavens; Alonso & Busby's homers also came during the #MCWS. pic.twitter.com/VAUFv3abc0

That’s some great company to be mentioned alongside. We’ll see if Slavens can play hero again on Thursday night to keep the Hogs’ season alive.
