Technically he hit it into the next state!
Dunn's 35th home run of the year was what this game will be remembered for. The ball cleared the 32-foot-high batter's eye in right-center field and ended up in the Ohio River. Dunn's shot, which traveled an estimated 535 feet, was the longest in Great American history. The ball bounced on Mehring Way before bouncing into the river.

Barry Larkin thought it might have gone farther than 535.

"You a need a physicist to figure out how far it would have gone," Larkin said.
This kid has sick sick power, but come on, He hit it into Kentucky!
