The Leadoff HR Duel Context
Shohei Ohtani kicked off the game with a monstrous 110.2 MPH leadoff home run. Immediately answering in the bottom frame, Pete Crow-Armstrong (PCA) pounced on a first-pitch fastball to hit a matching leadoff home run.
- Ohtani EV: 110.2 MPH launch (98.5 MPH pitch input).
- PCA Response: 104.5 MPH first-pitch swing (95.0 MPH pitch input).
- Rarity: Dual game-opening leadoff dingers occur in under 0.2% of MLB games.
Ballistic Physics Model
This simulator uses 2D numerical integration including quadratic drag resistance ($F_d = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 C_d A$) to compute realistic trajectory arcs, apex height, hang time, and wall clearance against outfield barriers.
- Gravity (g): Standard 32.174 ft/s².
- Magnus Effect: Lift vector adjusted via launch angle backspin heuristics.
- Wall Clearance: Height computed precisely at 380 ft outfield fence.
