I really hope Hunter can find his stuff, because this won’t cut it in conference play. Glad to see Lawson back into form, and to see the Beavers pull out the win in a close game. Gotta win ball games in different ways, not just blowouts.

Huh. I knew it was a great shot and powerful, but the most powerful in history? Including Larnach's bomb in the second game of the CWS? That's what the graphic says. Technically, that's what the tweet says. The graphic just gives the measurements. |

118 exit velo from Krieg. Huh. I knew it was a great shot and powerful, but the most powerful in history? Including Larnach's bomb in the second game of the CWS? Larnach's homer was 375 feet. He barely cleared the fence in right. |

I don't think they had these advanced stats for Larnach, it would be nice if they would clarify saying the hardest hit since whatever year.

He barely cleared the fence in right. You must be thinking about a different home run. The one I'm talking about flew out of the stadium straight into the heart of Arkansas. ;-) The "history" of OSU baseball is long and includes some monster home runs. I have only seen these data points for the home runs recently, perhaps the last two or three years. So have they been measuring all along? Do they know they numbers for Big Jim Wilson's homers? It's a bold claim and I'm just trying to clarify its limits, though, granted, I wasn't straightforward about it. |

Guys it's just a pumped nerd on twitter. We've only been measuring launch velo and angle for like 3 years.
118 mph is a massive amount of kinetic energy for college. MLB scouts want to see a player consistently at 95+ and 110 on big hits.

He barely cleared the fence in right. That's because he topspun it, and it was hit at a low launch angle. Back spin and a 30ish degree angle and that ball would have been 440+. He murdered that ball. |

Back spin and a 30ish degree angle and that ball would have been 440+. He murdered that ball. Exactly. His homer in the previous game was 400 ft at 106 mph, launch angle was 27 (9 degrees greater). 118 mph 18 degree line drive is monstrous. The next highest this season are Guerras 113 mph 440+ ft homers. |

The next highest this season are Guerras 113 mph 440+ ft homers. If you correct to a maximum distance launch angle in a air resistance model for a spherical object you are looking at about 480' at 28 degrees. Note that In an air resistance model 45 degrees no longer maximizes lateral distance due to air resistance being dependent on velocity. A lower angle is preferential because when the ball has the most velocity and loses the most energy it is covering the most ground. Those numbers assumed the same air resistance as the 118 mph hit which is also questionable because air columns are not laminer with respect to elevation. Also it's unlikely Krieg smashes the ball or gets the same spin at a higher launch angle. Either way it was absolutely smoked. |

Bomb ! |

It's official from dam analytics but they have a short data set. |
