But opposing lift is drag, and the environmental conditions can have a huge effect on how far a baseball travels.
Temp, humidity and wind are critical. Orioles assistant GM Sig Mejdal notes that sometimes a little rain can help a ball travel father.

.@rbcomes.bsky.social, who was at the ’93 derby, had no idea he’d witnesses a singular event. Now a physics professor, he attempted to answer my query.
He points out the reason the ideal launch angle for a homer is 25-30 degrees, and not 45, is because the backspin on a ball creates lift.

In 1993, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a Home Run Derby ball off the warehouse at Camden Yards, becoming the first and only player to do so.
Why has no one done it since? I spoke with 3 physicists, @mikepetriello.bsky.social, Sig Mejdal and #Orioles OF Heston Kjerstad to try to get an answer 🧵
