I mean...MAYBE there is something here but I'm leery of a possible Texas sharpshooter fallacy when data like these get thrown around.

A home run that would be a home run in exactly 1 of 30 ballparks…
I’d be curious how often we actually see those.

Such a great piece by Riley!
66 feet is a huge difference for HRs with the same exit velo+launch angle and it really demonstrates just how impactful park/weather factors are on batted balls. That's why they remain heavily weighted factors in how I think about hitter outcomes.

Ever wonder how home run distance is actually measured? It's not an exit velo/launch angle formula, despite the myth that it is. Really cool work from Riley @ Sportsball to show what goes into it:

The Yankees are in bad shape.
When you're up against the team that has hit the most and struck out the least in the regular, you can't have innings like the 5th inning of this game which was extended by defensive midhaps.
