In 2019 and 2016. Two, and just barely, in the five years that the distances have been measured pretty accurately and players and/or baseballs are juiced. So consider that the next time someone starts talking about Mickey Mantle hitting that first tape measure home run in Washington batting righty against Chuck Stobbs that supposedly went 565 feet on a fly.
