Shaw launches 458-foot homer vs. Cardinals

The third baseman's shot is the fourth-longest homer by a Brewer in the Statcast™ era (beginning in 2015) and the eighth-longest by any player in that span. Ryan Braun owns both records with his 474-foot home run off Tim Lincecum in a loss to the Giants on May 25, 2015.

Before Thursday, 27 of the Brewers' 29 home runs were measured by Statcast™, and the longest was from another newcomer, Eric Thames, who hit one 426 feet on Saturday in Cincinnati.

Prior to the dawn of Statcast™, home run estimates at Miller Park were based on engineering drawings from a group of students from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
