The Grand Slam, also known as Home Run, is a kill taunt that activates upon taunting with the Sandman or Atomizer equipped. The Scout points to the sky, winds up, and swings the bat, instantly killing any enemy too slow, unaware, or simply unfortunate enough to be in range.
The Grand Slam is capable of casting a victim's ragdoll a considerable distance away. Although the entirety of the wind-up is silent, a sound effect of a crowd cheering plays upon a successful hit. The kill area of the taunt is relatively small, allowing enemies time to jump away from the taunt and avoid death.
- The range at which the taunt kills is 48 Hammer units, past which it has no effect. If multiple enemies are within this range, they all take damage.
- The Grand Slam taunt deals bullet type damage, meaning that it can be countered by items like the Vaccinator and Fists of Steel.
As with most kill taunts, this taunt can also be used to kill enemy players during humiliation and stalemates.
