There is an extensive README page that I suggest you read before using the spreadsheet. As with the previous version, it is still possible to adjust atmospheric conditions, such as the temperature, elevation, relative humidity, and wind. The parameters associated with the the drag and Magnus forces are fixed, having been adjusted to best fit the 2016 Statcast data for batted balls, as discussed in my Augarticle in The Hardball Times entitled Fly Ball Carry and the Home Run Surge. Some of the variance is due to small differences in the drag coefficient of the baseball and some is due to unknown wind conditions. This version is my best attempt at reproducing average batted ball distances for given initial conditions and atmospheric conditions, but be aware that there will be considerable variance of actual distances about those average values.

Be sure to read the README to learn how to adjust the initial parameters to coincide with Statcast data.įor batted balls, the present version is a fully 3-dimensional calculation, and includes the direction (or "spray angle"). The tab PitchedBallTrajectory is, as the name suggests, for pitched baseballs, with independent adjustments possible for backspin, sidespin, and gyrospin.

This page describes a "trajectory calculator", a tool for calculating your own trajectories of pitched or batted baseballs.
