Yordan Álvarez's astonishing home run on Monday will be immortalized forever.

The seat that Álvarez's ball struck — in the first row of section 337 — was wrapped in orange vinyl on Tuesday afternoon, akin to the commemoration of the three upper deck home runs hit by a Houston player in the Astrodome's 34-year history.

Eric Anthony, Jimmy Wynn and Doug Rader hit the famous Astrodome homers.

Álvarez's home run during Monday's 15-0 win was among his most prodigious of the season. It exited his bat at 113.5 mph — the third hardest-hit ball of his young career — and traveled 416 feet, according to Statcast. Astros historian Mike Acosta disputed Statcast's measurements, claiming the baseball traveled 431 feet.

Astros insider: Yordan Álvarez is 'above and beyond'

Regardless, Álvarez reached a place only one other player had. Brewers slugger Jeromy Burnitz reached the third deck in right field during a game in 2000.

Álvarez hit two home runs during the Astros' bludgeoning of the Athletics, breaking Carlos Correa's single-season rookie record for home runs. Álvarez entered Tuesday's game with a 1.082 OPS, 46 extra-base hits and the undisputed favorite for American League Rookie of the Year honors.

"We thought this guy was going to be very impactful, but this is beyond belief or anything that people could have expected," manager A.J. Hinch said Monday night. "He's doing historic things in the middle of the lineup."
