Seattle Mariners left fielder Franklin Gutierrez may not have the best batting average (.200) right now, but he can hit the ball a long way when he gets a hold of one.

Check out what he did to a John Lamb fastball Saturday.

In the top of the fourth inning, the Cincinnati Reds southpaw left a pitch to Gutierrez hanging over the middle of the plate—and he subsequently had to squint to see where the ball landed. It left the yard in a hurry and landed halfway up the left field bleachers 473 feet from home plate.

According to Greg Johns of MLB.com, Gutierrez's homer was the second-longest in the majors this season:

The three-run shot gave the Mariners a 4-0 lead, and that was the final score.
