Ronald Acuña Jr. Statcast Profile

In MLB highlight play, Ronald Acuña Jr.'s fly ball to deep right-center was redirected off an outstretched outfielder glove at the wall. The glove contact imparted an upward vertical velocity component and deflected the ball over the fence.

Physics Engine Deflection Analysis

Without glove interaction, the ball's natural trajectory reaches 368 ft—landing just short of the 375 ft wall for a warning-track flyout. The high-velocity impact with the glove (at height 9.5 ft) alters the vector angle, extending the final carry to 382 ft and clearing the 8 ft wall.
