Cole Young hits monster home run for the Mariners, one of longest in stadium history

The Mariners topped the Texas Rangers 6-0 on Thursday night at T-Mobile Park with Young's home run in the 5th inning help contribute to the shutout.

It was a 470 foot home run to right field, tying for the longest at T-Mobile Park in the "Statcast era," when Major League Baseball started using advanced tracking technology in 2015. 

Mike Zunino also hit a 470 foot home run at the park in 2018. 

Young, who attended North Allegheny High School, hit his first career home run came last month after being called up to the Mariners' roster earlier this year. 

He was the second fastest WPIAL player to make it to the MLB when being drafted in the first round out of high school.
