FYI--balls travel farther in humid air...

That's different than  anything I've ever heard.

The kid hit 9 out this year. A couple long fly balls on short fields, a couple absolute bombs on big fields. Also had a few that were raked but on a big fields for long fly outs, HR's on a lot of fields. Had a couple the were raked on a small field with the a strong wind blowing in for fly outs.

Hard to gauge HR's as a stat given all the variables.

It's established physics that the ball will travel farther in high humidity. Before mlb came to Denver, Atlanta was considered the launching pad.
