Hate to disagree with you but bat composition does make a difference:
Your article is about all the factors involved that can impact the exit velocity (bat weigh, bat speed, bat construction). The trajectory calculator doesn't care about how the exit velocity was achieved, it's simply correlating EV, LA, and distance (after contact). Try it out for yourself. Below is the same chart when I give the batted ball a 7 mph tailwind. Maybe your son had a 7 mph tailwind and a 90 mph EV?
Good point, that is a definite possibility
I assume this chart is for play at sea level? Altitude, even 1000' (doesn't have to be in the mountains). will make a difference for sure.

Correct. A link to the spreadsheet is above. (1,000' of elevation adds 4' to the 353 number in that chart.)
