Coors Field is the ultimate hitter's haven.
Over the years, steps have been taken to limit the impact of the altitude at the stadium -- such as putting baseballs in a humidor -- in order to give pitchers a chance to succeed.
On Thursday night, Mark Reynolds put the limits of Coors Field to the test, and teammate Carlos Gonzalez continued his excellent season with the long ball.
Reynolds' long homer
In the seventh inning, Reynolds hit a home run to deep left-center field off of the Atlanta Braves' Hunter Cervenka. ESPN's Hit Tracker team calculated the homer at 486 feet, the second longest of the season, trailing only a 490-foot homer by Giancarlo Stanton.
Speaking of Stanton, he hit the longest homer at Coors Field in ESPN's data set, which goes back to 2009. That was a 494-foot home run on August 7, 2012.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Stanton also previously had the second-longest homer during that time period at Coors Field, a 484-foot homer on June 5, 2015.
That claim now belongs to Reynolds.
CarGo keeps hitting them far
Gonzalez hit a home run in the sixth inning on Thursday that was calculated at 444 feet. It was his seventh home run to travel at least 440 feet this season, the most such homers in the majors.
What is most impressive about Gonzalez's homers this season? The average distance. His home run on Thursday brought his average home run distance to 424.8 feet, the highest average home run distance in the majors this season (minimum of 15 home runs).
Gonzalez's homer on Thursday was his 11th home run to go at least 425 feet this season, which is tied with teammate Trevor Story for the most such home runs in MLB.
Story ranks third in the league with an average home run distance of 417.7 feet. Stanton is second at 421.8 feet.
Coors Field is silly with long shots
Of the five longest home runs hit this season, three have been at Coors Field. With a 444-foot homer and a 486-foot homer on Thursday, the average home run distance at Coors Field went up to 420.3 feet, by far the highest average home run distance at an MLB stadium this season.
The next-highest average home run distance at a park this season is 411.1 feet at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals.
Coors Field has yielded 16 home runs of 450 feet or more this season, twice as many as that of any other ballpark.
