How Esmerlyn Valdez’s home runs travel

Esmerlyn Valdez averages 397 ft of projected distance on these, from 355 ft at the shortest to 461 ft at the longest, and clears an average of 29.7 of 30 ballparks. 13 of them would have been out in all 30 parks.

By spray angle these break down 7 to left field, 2 to centre, 6 to right field — 47% to left field. Direction matters as much as distance here, because no outfield wall is the same depth all the way round: a ball that clears a 330 ft line would die on a 400 ft power alley at the same distance.

Which parks would hold them

Run all 15 of Esmerlyn Valdez's tracked home runs against every wall in the league and the parks disagree by 2 balls. American Family Field is the most forgiving of them — 15 of 15 would leave the yard there (100%) — while Oracle Park is the least, clearing the wall 13 times in 15 (87%) and holding the other 2 in play. That gap is the fences, not the hitter: the same batted ball, measured against a different outfield.
