Study Helps Sports Bettors Determine Which Teams Hit the Longest Home Runs
BetOnline has released the most interesting study, but one where there is absolutely no shocking result.
Science proves that objects travel farther in thinner air. So, tracking which team has hit the most 450-foot or more home runs over the last seven years, the answer is obvious: Colorado.
After the Rockies though, it's anybody's ball game really.
BetOnline.ag compiled data from Statcast, tallying total bombs that traveled 450 feet or more for each team. The dataset runs from the 2015 season through this past Sunday (July 10).
As you can see by the Results below, the Rockies have hit more than double that of the second-place team (New York Yankees).
