Hardball Times: What to pack for Denver
Last week I blogged about keys to selecting
your home field and how there are distinct advantages and disadvantages to
it with Diamond
Mind Online. To underscore this point, Hardball Times writer Josh Kalk
recently put together this amazing
analysis of Coors Field in Denver,
baseball's most hitter-friendly park, using Pitchf/x
data. While the physics of mile-high altitude are no mystery, what
the ball does when coming off a hitter's bat is only half the story.
Check out Kalk's charts on the how lowered air density impacts pitch movement
as well.
