Why Fan Outrage Over No Replay? A 103.5 mph / 28° fly ball at sea level travels ~395 ft (routine out). In Denver's thin 5,280-ft air, reduced drag extends carry to 423.2 ft—crossing the 8-ft outfield wall at 405 ft. Cowser sprinted 29.2 ft/sec covering ~90 feet in 4.54 seconds, timing a 38-inch vertical leap right at the padded wall to elevate his glove 11.4 inches above the fence. Without slow-motion breakdown, the sheer millimeter precision is invisible!
