Mike Napoli can hit a ball a very long way.

The Cleveland Indians slugger didn't hold anything back against the New York Yankees on Friday when he got hold of a Chad Green fastball and sent it deep into the left-center field stands.

Napoli's homer traveled 460 feet, according to Statcast, which is the longest home run of the season for Cleveland.

The exit velocity of the blast was also 106.6 mph with a launch angle of 32 degrees.

"I didn't know I hit it that far," Napoli told Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com." I put my head down and started running. I went to the video room and watched it. I'm pretty sure I'll look at it again tonight. It's a fun moment to be able to hit a ball like that."

It was the 18th bomb of the year for Napoli, who is second on the Indians in the category behind teammate Carlos Santana, who has 20.
