Justin Upton's first spring hit with the Braves came in the form of a mammoth home run that traveled at least 450 feet. It was one of the longest balls ever seen at the Disney World sports complex.

He was thrilled just to get a hit after going 0-for-6 to begin his tenure with Atlanta.

"I don't know (how far it went). I don't have a tape measure," Justin Upton said. "I hit it good. Everything just happened to fall into place for me and I squared up. Obviously, you know when you've got it. The ball just leaves your bat differently when you catch one square. You more know from the sound. When you hear that sound, you know, 'All right, I got that one pretty good.'"
