Braves outfielder Jason Heyward hit a jaw-dropping home run during the first inning of Monday afternoon's game against the Tigers.

Heyward turned on Max Scherzer's 3-2 fastball and rocketed it onto the roof of the building that stands approximately 30 feet beyond the right-field wall.

The ball traveled an estimated distance of 420 feet.

This was the first homer of the year for the 20-year-old phenom.
