The ball landed 363 ft from the plate, left field, where the wall is 368 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 -28.1° angle, then compared against its 363-foot projected distance. On that basis it clears the wall in 17 of 30 parks and stays in play in the other 13.

The parks that hold it are the ones with a deeper wall at -28°, which is why the same swing is worth a different result depending on the address. 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.
