@yemurenthusiasm @TMontana4810 @MatthewMKE98 lol okay

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@drewoengel @ThreeZeroFore @MatthewMKE98 Very much disagree on the basis that the implication is that it’s not possible with those numbers. My rebuttal is that’s not the case as we have examples with worse numbers leave the park.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@yemurenthusiasm @TMontana4810 @MatthewMKE98 Here’s a 49 degree launch angle homer from last season. Much lower exit velo too so should that not count?

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@vicvine6 @FieldsSzn69 @GeneEgdorf @DaveNiinemets What about this one?

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@drewoengel @ThreeZeroFore @MatthewMKE98 Yeah, my point is that it’s lower and there are examples.

@deanshep11199 @Michaelfis16652 @jaredsmithbets Ahh shit, I forgot about the magnus effect 😂

@MZavagno11 Look at the spray of the chart you just posted. Multiple home runs to either short corners. When you isolate, it’s 2/5 give or take. Also there are examples of players hitting homer runs at lower exit velo and same launch angles.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@deanshep11199 @Michaelfis16652 @jaredsmithbets There are examples of Home runs with lower exit velos and same launch angles actually.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@TMontana4810 @MatthewMKE98 Yes let’s look at that 63 launch when France’s was 49. Only one of these examples is similar and also doesn’t account for spray to a short corner.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@MatthewMKE98 @Tim_Hill_Lol Well that’s not what you said.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@deanshep11199 @Michaelfis16652 @jaredsmithbets This sample doesn’t account for spray and France’s hit was the shortest part of the ballpark. Eye test says that’s got the distance all day long. Would’ve it have been fair? Not so sure.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@J_Mic_ @Aye_Jay_Jed @SDGIANT25 @espn Happened earlier this year with Xander Bogearts on a would be homer in Tampa Bay. Exit velo: 101.4 LA: 36 degrees

Savant had it as 0/30 and 145 ft

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@deanshep11199 @Michaelfis16652 @jaredsmithbets Only one of these examples shows a launch angle as low as France’s btw.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@J_Mic_ @Aye_Jay_Jed @SDGIANT25 @espn That’s actually not true. On all these batted balls there is a true distance traveled (which they then use that data to apply across all ballparks). When a ball’s flight is interrupted by a catwalk or truss, the distance is not a projected one.

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@cyclonef141 @RangerApologist I mean use your eyes and brain. Everyone including Megill in his postgame interview knew that ball was nuked

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@ChadEtch Unreal man, that ball was pissed on

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@TalkinBaseball_ MLB is going to just shrug their shoulders at this and say better luck next time. Padres got hosed

[Mike Curtin @Mike_Curtin_]

@ChadEtch That’s fair! I think the game we won was 2 or 3-0. Offense really struggled. Let’s keep it rolling in Wisconsin!
