”. . . a baseball at an optimum angle of 35 degrees with a velocity of 110 MPH would go about 750 feet in a vacuum but that’s still only 400 feet at sea level in New York.”
As many you asked, has anyone ever hit a 600 foot home run? No estimate has ever been given for its length, although it is safe to say it was easily over 500 feet, and may have approached 600 feet. A tremendous blast by any standards. In a single game Mantle hit two homers that were longer than most major league players hit in a career!
Amazingly, how hard can you hit a baseball? A typical bat striking a ball can exert as much as 8000 lbs of force, propelling the ball to over 100 mph—the speed needed for a home run.
Also, how far could you hit a baseball on the moon? Assume the ball is 1m off the ground when it’s hit and it would go 1361m (4465 feet), ignoring the curvature of the moon. So 9.5 times farther than on earth. On the moon, it would have traveled 3985 feet, or only 8.6 times farther.
People ask also, how far can you hit a ball off a tee? We do not have a way to measure our bat exit speed but with a good bat and good mechanics, you could have a bat exit speed of 105 mph and theoritically you should be able to hit a ball further than 280 feet.Longest home run ever hit On June 2, 1987, the Denver Zephyrs hosted the Buffalo Bisons at Mile High Stadium. Aided by the thin air, much like baseballs hit out of Coors Field today, Joey Meyer launched a towering blasted that traveled an absurd 582 feet and is the longest homer ever caught on video.
Who is the real home run king?
Barry Bonds holds the record for most career home runs, hitting 762 over his 22-year career.
How far can MLB players hit off a tee?
Depends on the exit speed of the ball. 80 mph is 300 feet.
How far do you have to hit a baseball for a home run?
To wit, here’s MLB rule Rule 5.05(a)(5): “A fair ball passes over a fence or into the stands at a distance from home base of 250 feet or more. Such hit entitles the batter to a home run when he shall have touched all bases legally.”
How far can a 14 year old hit a baseball?
A 14-year-old should be able to hit a baseball at least 200 feet. Hitting the ball at least 200 feet ensures that the player can hit the ball well into the outfield.
Can you throw a rock from the moon to Earth?
You could, but it wouldn’t be super easy. First of all, you have to get off of the Moon. The escape velocity of the Moon is around 2.38 km/s, which is a good estimate of what you would need to leave the Moon’s sphere of iNFLuence. About 700 m/s of that is the orbital velocity.
Can you throw a rock on the moon?
If you weren’t encumbered by the gear necessary to survive on the moon, you would be able to give your rock a higher initial velocity than it would have on Earth. … To get the maximum horizontal distance, you would have to throw the rock at a 45-degree angle.
How fast can you throw a ball in space?
Watch NASA Astronauts Throw a 17,500 MPH Fastball.
How hard do you have to hit a ball for it to go 400 feet?
For a ball to travel 400′ the ball velocity needs to be 105 MPH. The question of Pujol’s bat velocity came up and I have heard some people say that his bat velocity is slower than some other MLB players, but that he squares up to the ball better. He does this but I am not sure his bat velocity is any slower.
What is a good exit velocity by age?
Exit Velocity by Age Little League Baseball (45-65 mph). Middle School baseball(50-70 mph). High School baseball(60-80 mph). College baseball(70-90 mph).
Do MLB players hit off a tee?
The tee is one of the best ways to hone your swing as a hitter. Sometimes there is a stigma from t-ball that says you should outgrow it, but that’s not the case. Big league hitters work off the tee regularly to keep their mechanics clean and crisp.
