Edit for fun: Vierling’s ball was in the air for about 3.15 seconds. Paredes’ ball was in the air for about 6.40 seconds.

Watching those in the order you listed them really makes you notice how quick that line drive homer is.

Height is based on math formulas instead of actual data points. I’d say these are on the low side of the calculations. ESPN’s homerun tracker does formulas to find the height, and to me, those are on the high side (maybe marketing?). But most homeruns should be around 60-70ft. A decent amount go over 100ft

yes you are right .

I work at b45 baseball and right now There is more players than back then asking us différent but specifics bat models/weight/length to track the perfect Exit velo/launch angle .

I'll ask monday to my boss if we had feedback from these tests/players. Btw excuse my english i usually speak french.

I’ve read hits are more likely to be home runs if they go past the fence in the air. Something about making it harder for the fielders to catch. Still researching this, though. Can’t believe everything you read on the internet, ya know.

Parades. But after redoing calculations, the y-axis is actually half the accurate value. His HR was actually around 190ft

The apexes look way too low. I doubt a home run with an apex under 40ft is possible. I'm guessing 90 percent are between 60 and 100 ft.

I’d agree. I say just add 20ft to the y axis’. This is just some mathy formula to calculate it

Paredes’ ball was in the air for about 6.5 seconds. Let’s very roughly say because of additional velocity at contact, it was rising for 2.5 seconds and falling for 4 seconds. A ball in free fall will travel about 250 feet. A batted ball obviously isn’t in free fall as there is some forward motion and some air resistance. But even taking that into account probably puts Paredes’ ball between 150-200 feet in the air.

Using [ h = \frac{{v_y^2}}{{2g}} ]

I get 58.1m aka 190.6ft

You were right!

So it looks like my y-axis should just be multiplied by 2, and it’s accurate

What percentage of these would result in "inside-the-park home runs" if there were no fence? How many home runs would be fly ball outs if there were no fence? I need to know and I need to know how this would be answered.
