may be leading to more home runs as air becomes warmer and thinner because of a rise in Earth's temperature
The study was undertaken by scientists from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire who took into account 100,000 major-league games as well as 220,000 balls put into play.They analyzed this data by considering weather conditions and spotted a distinct correlation between higher temperatures and home runs.
"All else being equal, warmer air is less dense, and a batted ball will carry farther," the study further noted. This is not the first time a correlation between temperatures and ball trajectories has been proposed. During a 2021 broadcast, the late Tim McCarver, a major-league catch, stated that climate change could be impacting the long ball by "making the air thin."
Unlike the new study, the comment was not well received at the time with the sports website Deadspin calling the theory "one of the stupidest things ever spoken on a television broadcast."Dr. Jonathan Martin, a professor in the department of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,"I think I would say that warming and the associated density decrease in the air is a factor, but not likely the leading factor," Martin said.
