MLB HR Ballistics Sandbox

Fixture: Ben Rice #32
Yankee Stadium (Right Field Porch - 314ft, 8ft wall)
Drag arrow on Home Plate to set Exit Velocity & Launch Angle

HR RESULT: 30/30 MLB Parks

Ben Rice's 108.5 mph / 28.5° blast reaches an apex height of 94.2 ft and travels 412.4 ft, clearing the Yankee Stadium 8.0 ft fence by 24.1 ft margin.

Trace the saved model using explicit units and source thresholds

The saved home-run simulator converts input exit speed to feet per second using one point four six six six seven. At one hundred miles per hour the initial speed is one hundred forty-six point six six seven feet per second. At eighty it is one hundred seventeen point three three three six. Both bars compare converted speeds using four pixels per foot per second. The source then splits them with sine and cosine before flight, starting three feet above ground. This is a numerical demonstration, not tracked player validation. At sea level the source density factor is five hundred eighteen point six seven divided by four hundred fifty-nine point six seven plus temperature in Fahrenheit. At fifty-nine degrees the factor is one. At ninety-nine degrees it is about point nine two eight four. Holding velocity and coefficients fixed, both drag and lift forces change linearly with this density factor. The bars show force contributions of one hundred percent and about ninety-two point eight four percent. The formula is a source atmosphere approximation, not live weather observation. The lift coefficient is spin in revolutions per minute times point zero zero zero one five. Two thousand gives point three; three thousand gives point four five. At unchanged density and relative velocity, lift magnitude scales by this coefficient, making the second one and a half times the first. Both bars compare dimensionless lift coefficients at twelve hundred pixels per coefficient unit. The actual download preserves every original sampled time, position and both velocity components; those are model outputs rather than measurements.
