Adley’s Shot

[Roll Tide]

I wanted to post this since MASN could show us a good picture of the Homerun. Instead they just showed the fielder catching the ricochet off the catwalk. 
 

Let’s Celebrate this one !

Can someone do the physics on this and tell me where this hits in OPACY?  How close to the warehouse?

That homer reminds me of the ones he was hitting in the minors last year.  Lots of majestic shots like that one.

You’d have to know how close to the foul line.   But probably not that close.  This was projected to go 438 feet according to the picture and it’s 439 exsctly down the line at OPACY and increases pretty quickly from there the further left of the foul line you go.  

The longest Eutaw Steet homer was 443 feet and still didn’t come that close to hitting the Warehouse.

Thanks for the info….I think he will hit more like this. I am happy with him being an on base machine but I’m hoping he starts to hit more homeruns.

The obp & hr count will compliment each other.  I imagine his obp will continue to creep up as the power starts to play more often.

For further reference.  On July 13, 1993, Ken Griffey, Jr. hit the Warehouse with a shot that measured 460 Feet during the Home Run Derby during the All Star Week.  Still the only ball to hit the Warehouse.

Would love to see Adley become the second one to do it....

You have to remember that Eutaw Street is bout 20 feet above field level.  You have to hit the ball further than you would think to hit the warehouse.

O’Neil Cruz hit it during batting practice.  That really isn’t different than a home run derby.

Look at the HR chart on the top right. I think it would have been the farthest in LF.

Its also going "up hill" to the warehouse, so I wonder what the actual distance with slope is.
