Oklahoma State Cowboys first baseman Griffin Doersching crushed a mammoth home run during Friday night’s Big 12 baseball game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
With the Cowboys trailing 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh, Doersching had a hitter’s count at 3-1, and he certainly took advantage of the opportunity.
Doersching hit a moonshot blast that had an estimated distance of 513 feet. Yes, 513 freakin’ feet. It cleared the massive left-field scoreboard at O’Brate Stadium.
That distance may sound hard to believe, but it’s much more believable when you see the video:

That’s a mind-blowing dinger.
Oklahoma State provided the batted ball data of the 513-foot bomb, which featured a launch angle of 33 degrees and exit velocity of 113 mph.
Yes, you read that correctly.
No, we did not make it up.
Are we impressed? Yes.
Are we surprised? Nope.@HokageDoersch 💪#OurStandard #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/dc29dismiQ
