The Braves’ postseason motto is #LetItFly Apparently, the elements are on board with that: Austin Riley’s home run was wind-aided per @weatherapplied.com It was blown out +3 feet. Calm conditions ball hits a foot below the top of the fence.

Coby Mayo’s inside-the-park home run was actually a wind-prevented over-the-wall homer, per @weatherapplied.com It’s the 4th ITP HR in their dataset (starting 2023) that was wind-prevented from going out traditionally, with:
Here's the pregame running impact of a 50 yard FG in the two KC end zones. >3 yards of impact puts you wide for a center-aimed FG. Northwest end zone is going in and out of that. Southeast end zone has a smaller impact but it's still big enough that you could miss with imperfect aim or tilted spin.
We @weatherapplied.com forecast #MNF #Broncos @ #Chiefs tonight with 91st percentile FG impact. Only 9% of games see wind move FGs more. The path indicates where wind moves a center-aim FG at each distance from 20-70 yds, northwest end zone. A 48 yd FG hits the left upright. Longer FGs miss left.
New NFL season. Same stadium, same wind? In 2023, Giants ST coordinator Thomas McGaughey said nearby demolition “changed the whole wind pattern to one end of the stadium.” Stadium microclimates respond to their surroundings. #playthewind
Special teams units adjust to 'totally different' wind at MetLife Stadium
The unpredictability of MetLife Stadium's winds has been compounded because of the offseason razing of the old Meadowlands Racetrack, which stood close to the stadium’s northwest corner.

#USA vs #BEL World Cup round of 16 coming soon! I made a weather impact preview for @weatherapplied.com about how the weather will affect ball flight during the game. It's not the most weather-impacted game of the tournament, but there's some ball movement happening. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IZW...

With high winds in the forecast, Shinnecock Hills should be an especially interesting wind test. The course routing turns players into different wind angles throughout the round, creating a very different test from hole to hole. Great breakdown from @gabbyherzig.bsky.social and @theathletic.com
Why is Shinnecock Hills the gnarliest U.S. Open test? It starts with triangles
Understanding the true brilliance behind architect William Flynn’s design first requires a step back.

This is why @weatherapplied.com puts sensors inside ballparks and doesn't just rely on weather service data: there's currently 12 foot difference in fly ball distance between the west side of San Francisco and the east side just from temperature alone.
Anthony Edwards@edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social · 4mo agoNoon update: Mid-60s at the beach and mid-90s in the Mission District. Yikes!
Las Vegas Ballpark isn't modeled for @weatherapplied.com, so we can't calculate last night's wind impacts, but the elevation is 3,000 ft (The Strip is 2,100) and the temp was over 90 F. That combo adds ~26 feet of distance to a HR compared to 70 F at sea level. Some rules of thumb can be found here:

Matt Olson! 49 degree launch angle, the highest on a home run in MLB this season Just 3 over-the-fence HR have had a higher launch angle under Statcast (2015) Related: it was wind-aided, blown out 17 ft & pushed 29 ft right, per @weatherapplied.com
Gusts are expected to be so strong in Sacramento on Sunday that flyballs in the Giants-A’s game could be pushed 115 feet toward home plate, according to @weatherapplied.com. It would be the biggest deflection WAM has measured since 2023, when it partnered with MLB to track weather at all stadiums.
Strong gusts in Sacramento expected to make for interesting Giants-A’s game Sunday
Flyballs in Sunday’s game between the A’s and San Francisco Giants at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento could be pushed more than 100 feet toward home plate, if forecast wind speeds hold.

Windy day at Wrigley! Brandon Lowe’s grand slam was blown out 38 ft, creating a home run, per @WeatherApplied Again, they all count!
This +65 ft is the most distance added by wind on a wind-aided homer in @WeatherApplied database (last 4 seasons)
Sarah Langs@slangsonsports.bsky.social · 6mo ago422 ft homer here from Oneil Cruz! This ball was blown out 65 (!!!) ft by wind, creating a homer, per @WeatherApplied 111.0 mph 41 degree launch angle 83.1 mph bat speed They all count!
Ian Happ gets one back from the wind! This ball was blown out 35 (!!) ft by wind and pushed 8 ft right, creating a home run, per Statcast + @WeatherApplied They all count !!!
Yesterday, Ian Happ hit an absolute tank for a home run. 109 off the bat. 32 deg LA. ... except, he didn't. Thanks to our friends at @weatherapplied.com we know that the wind cost him *113 feet* of distance -- which is now the largest stop in the data. --> www.mlb.com/news/how-ian...
113 ft of distance but only 6 ft sideways: that's nearly a pure headwind. Between the LF Wrigley Rooftops building (~70 ft tall) and the LF scoreboard (~86 ft), the only wind blockage is the bleachers (~27 ft) and some trees on N Kenmore Ave. The ball and the 30 mph wind met head on in that gap.

Levi’s Stadium is forecast to be warmer than both teams’ home stadiums at kickoff. Warmer air = lower density = longer carry. Rule of thumb: ~1/2 yard per 10°. That’s roughly +2 ft vs Lumen and +7 ft vs Gillette at Levi’s. Physics is always in play. #SuperBowlLX #weatherapplied #playthewind
