Winds peaked at 39 mph during the 2025 #BNPPARIBASOPEN. From our simulations that is enough to shift a tennis ball’s flight by nearly 2 feet at court level.
Baseball season is here! Check out this week's episode of #OffTheRadar to find out how wind modeling in ballparks is changing the game... and solving some old mysteries!

MLB Hall of Famer John Smoltz discusses how different weather conditions impact baseball with @IanOliverWX
"The elements dictate to you as a pitcher how you're going to navigate the game"

When the roof is open in Seattle, the wind often hurts more than it helps. Over the last two seasons, 55 would-be home runs have been blown back into play by the wind.
Citizens Bank Park has a reputation as a bandbox, but only 3 ballparks have lost more homers to wind over the past 2 seasons than CBP. Bryce Harper has lost six because of it.
“I don’t think the ballpark is a joke as much as everybody thinks it is." https://t.co/HANZQ1wctS
Why is it so hard to hit at Seattle's T-Mobile Field? A deep one on how the the best pitcher's park in baseball creates strikeouts, limits damage, makes it hard to evaluate pitchers and hitters -- and why it's about more than *just* the batter's eye.

Wind has prevented 48 homers at Citizens Bank Park the last two years. It’s cost Bryce Harper six homers.
Maybe it isn’t a bandbox after all? https://t.co/CCjM1bNGLw
What's really the windiest park in the game?
Which hitters gained or lost the most HR b/c of wind? Which games had the biggest turnaround because of wind?
Thanks to @WeatherApplied we have two years of Statcast wind data. Let's go:

Camden Yards moved the LF wall *again.* What's the effect going to be this time, with the new wall shorter than Walltimore yet still deeper than the original? Let's find out. It might not be as advantageous to Ryan Mountcastle as you'd like it to be.

For the first time ever, MLB is tracking weather in every professional ballpark.
In 2023, nearly one-in-three games at Oracle Park featured a wind created, or prevented, home run. https://t.co/84Cd3vULRk
@Hey_T0ne @SpartaScience Hey Tony, I'm not sure I'm following all your questions but would be happy to chat more. I followed you if you'd like to shoot me a message.
@Hey_T0ne @SpartaScience Additionally an older blog post here also discussing these and a lot of the things we've learned about how Load, Explode, and Drive relate to human movement and health: https://t.co/iCXimdqG9T
@Hey_T0ne @SpartaScience Hey Tony! Here is some of our peer-reviewed research published back in 2017 that defines how we extract Load, Explode, and Drive from the time-series data, the full paper is available: https://t.co/3YRmkVGfRW
