Baseball Stats: The Opponent HR in 2021

[FriarsPoint]

How similar are our dimensions compared to Omaha?

408 dead center Omaha
395 Dudy Noble

335 down both left and right field lines in Omaha
330 down left and 328 down right in Dudy

375 in both power alleys in Omaha

Dudy I think is 370 in the alleys

I may be off on the Dudy numbers. I know Omaha from memory.

Worse than I thought.

Dudy
305 right field line
390 dead center
374 RC
376 LC
330 left field line


So. Safe to say the ball will not fly out of Omaha like it did the last two weeks in Starkville without crushing it or help from Mother Nature.

Thanks Friar. Sounds like Omaha is advantage good guys.

Since 2014 when TD Ameritrade became the Venue and the Dead Bat was eliminated

2019 HR/Team/Game = 0.73 ... that was 24% Less than 2019 SEC HR/Team/Game
2018 HR/Team/Game = 0.56 ... 42% Less than 2018 SEC HR/Team/Game
2017 HR/Team/Game = 0.72 ... 15% Less than 2017 SEC HR/Team/Game
2016 HR/Team/Game = 0.29 ... 57% Less than 2016 SEC HR/Team/Game
2015 HR/Team/Game = 0.47 ... 36% Less than 2015 SEC HR/Team/Game

Of the last 5 champs, only 2018-Oregon State hit more HR's in the CWS, up 1%. They hit nearly half the HRs in that tournament.

The rest of the champs hit 17% to 80% fewer longballs in Omaha.

I compared the CWS only to SEC games to control for Opponent Quality and the use of Friday and Saturday Aces.
