Of course, as demonstrated by the chart below, home runs are down only in comparison to recent so-called juiced ball seasons. Ohtani's 28 homers averaged 110.9 mph exit velocity, easily the hardest for any 2021 Derby slugger in any round (Alonso was second, averaging 108.8 in the final). That December 2019 report commissioned by MLB stated that drag -- or how the air works against a baseball flying through it -- increased in the postseason but that a reason for that wasn't exactly clear.

Since the deader balls are wound more loosely, they collapse more when dried out and are better able to push up between the covers. We can see immediately from this table that there is some sort of interaction between the humidor and the ball when it comes to batted ball distance. And Projected Home Run Distance gives us a slightly fairer way to do that. Derek Carty, creator of THE BAT projections, includes weather as well as batted ball dimensions like launch angle and exit velocity in his model.
