- Trevor Story hits longest home run in history of Coors Field
During the 2015 season, the Rockies traded Tulowitzki, and Story appeared in the All-Star Futures Game. He finished the 2015 season with a .350 on-base percentage and 20 home runs for New Britain and Albuquerque. The Rockies added Story to their 40-man roster after the 2015 season. He played for the Tigers baseball team as a shortstop and pitcher, reaching 96 miles per hour (154 km/h) with his fastball. He also played for the football team as a quarterback, but stopped playing football after his sophomore year of high school so that he could focus more on baseball.
He finished his rookie season with 101 hits, 67 runs scored, 27 home runs, and 72 RBI. With Troy Tulowitzki playing shortstop for the Rockies, Story began to gain experience as a second baseman and third baseman. He began the 2015 season with the New Britain Rock Cats of the Class AA Eastern League, and had a .281 batting average in 300 plate appearances before was promoted to the Albuquerque Isotopes of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League on July 1.
Trevor Lawrence has career day as Jags topple Titans
Story's father, Ken, is a retired fireman and paramedic, and his mother, Teddie, was the chief executive officer of a local food pantry. His older brother, Tyler, played baseball at Irving and for the University of Texas at Austin. All-around, Story, at only 25-years old, is already one of the greatest Rockies players in the 25-year history of the organization. Again, he’s overshadowed by Arenado, but the Rockies star shortstop makes plenty of miraculous plays with his glove as well. With each of his three home runs helping the Rockies either tie the game or take the lead, and Colorado eventually coming away with a 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants, Story was pleased with his night.
Matt Olson came up short in the Home Run Derby, but not as short as a fan who tried to catch one of his 23 homers. Colorado led San Francisco by one run in the bottom of the sixth after the shortstop's third solo home run. Story's second homer went 505 feet, the longest home run on record since Statcast began tracking in 2015. As he swung through two rounds of Monday night’s Home Run Derby -- beating the Rangers’ Joey Gallo, 20-19, in the first round before falling to the Orioles’ Trey Mancini, 13-12, in the second -- his gratitude outstripped any fatigue.

Story's 33 homers are a record for a Rockies player in the Home Run Derby. Hall of Fame electee Larry Walker hit 19 in 1997 at Cleveland, Michael Cuddyer knocked 15 at New York's Citi Field in 2013, and current teammate Charlie Blackmon tallied 14 at Miami in 2017. Batting .284 with 17 home runs and 62 RBIs, Story was named to the 2018 MLB All-Star Game.

How it happened: Russell Wilson hurt after Broncos lose to Chiefs for 14th straight time
New York picked up his $14 million option for next season after the 35-year-old right-hander went 15-7 with a 3.97 ERA. Under Cohen, who bought the club in November 2020, the Mets became baseball’s biggest spender this year for the first time since 1989. Their payroll was $273.9 million as of Aug. 31, with final figures that include bonuses yet to be compiled.
"That's just the nature of what we do in this business, so I understand that. But really just making the plays that are there . Today, guys came through, had some great catches. I mean, you look at Evan and Zay and Ags . Take away the 12 yards on the final possession to close the game, and the Jaguars managed just 48 yards on the ground against the Titans. Story's blasts marked the third-longest combined home run distances in a single game, but the first two took four home runs to rack up the miles. His total is the longest for a three-homer performance, surpassing Alex Rodriguez's mark of 1,324 feet set on July 25, 2015. The first homer on its own would have made for a remarkable night, powering an inside pitch out of the park with so much force Story couldn't stay on his feet. The three solo shots gave the Rockies the lead, tied the game and put them on top for good, respectively, as Story paced the Rox to a 5-3 win to sweep the series with the Giants and extend their lead at the top of the National League West.

CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective. According to Statcast, Story’s 505-foot home run is the longest in the majors since Statcast began projecting home runs in the 2015 season. The third-longest home run in Coors Field — one that many contend is still the longest ever hit here — was a 496-foot moon shot by the Dodgers’ Mike Piazza on Sept. 26, 1997 off Darren Holmes, currently the Rockies’ bullpen coach.
Within the last week, the Mets have committed $359.7 million to five free agents, including Senga. Throw in Diaz, who re-signed before other teams were permitted to negotiate with him, and it’s $461.7 million to six free agents this offseason – five pitchers. "You just watch the film, and anyone who really knows football and can see the tape, the kid's playing well."
Making his major league debut on Opening Day, April 4, as the Rockies' starting shortstop against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Story recorded his first career hit, a three-run home run off Zack Greinke, in his second major league at bat. The following day, Story hit another home run, becoming only the third player ever to hit three home runs in his first two games, following Charlie Reilly and Joe Cunningham. On his third day in the major leagues, he hit a two-run home run off Arizona's Patrick Corbin, becoming the first player in MLB history to hit a home run in each of his first three games and a home run in each of his first four hits. Trevor John Story is an American professional baseball second baseman and shortstop for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball . On April 8, 2016, Story set an MLB record for a rookie by hitting home runs in each of his first four games, and tied the MLB rookie record for home runs in the month of April. Story was named the National League's Rookie of the Month for April 2016.
The bullpen shut San Francisco down the rest of the way, with Harrison Musgrave, Yency Almonte, Scott Oberg, and Adam Ottavino, who got his sixth save, as the Rockies held the Giants hitless for the final four frames. "That was awesome," Colorado manager Bud Black said of the accomplishment. "What great swings. Trev was doing his thing. It was great competition. It's hard to hit, first of all. And it's hard to hit homers. It was a great night for sure." The 2021 MLB Home Run Derby is Monday night at Coors Field in Denver. Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani is the betting favorite to win. The Pittsburgh Pirates take Henry Davis as the top selection in the 2021 MLB draft, the second time in three years a catcher has gone No. 1 overall.
Story won the National League Player of the Week Award for the first week of the season. With ten home runs in April, Story tied the MLB rookie record, previously set by José Abreu of the Chicago White Sox. After finishing the month leading all MLB rookies with 10 home runs, 19 runs scored, 20 runs batted in and three triples, Story won the National League Rookie of the Month Award for April.
