The ball landed 17 ft from the plate, down the right-field line, where the wall is 330 ft. The outline is this park’s wall; the dashed line is the ball’s path over the ground.

Would it be out in every ballpark?

Each park’s outfield wall is sampled at seven spray angles and interpolated to this ball’s 45.0° angle, then compared against its 17-foot projected distance. On that basis it clears the wall in 0 of 30 parks and stays in play in the other 30.

That makes it a park-specific home run — it needed a short porch in this direction, and most of the league would have caught it on the track. Distance here is Statcast’s projected distance from the MLB Stats API — where the ball would have landed unobstructed. Wall height and the ball’s trajectory arc are not modelled, so a ball that clears on distance might still have hit high off a tall wall in a park that has one.
