[QUOTE="78pike, post: 937193, member: 4030"] It's total home runs hit at each ACC ballpark by both the home and visitor teams both in and out of conference. For example, in 2022 Georgia Tech played a total of 31 home games at which 106 home runs were hit combined by both Tech and the opposition. So 106 home runs divided by 31 games comes to 3.42 home runs per game. UNC and the visiting team at their home park hit a total of 123 home runs over 42 games at UNC thus 2.93 home runs per game and so on. The premise was to determine if statistics over a two year period resulted in the conclusion that Russ Chandler Stadium is more of a launching pad than any other stadium in the conference. In my opinion it is not. Last year balls flew out of the Rusty C at a record pace because we had a monster of a lineup and a poor pitching staff overall. The previous year there were 3 or 4 other stadiums that produced as much or more home run production. I don't think the numbers prove we have a launching pad of a home field any more than any other of the good hitting teams in the conference. What they do show is more home runs were hit last year at just about every stadium in the ACC. And based on the numbers in the link of the post above they are increasing even more this year all across the country. The last time this trend occurred the NCAA stepped in and changed the bat composition to cut down on the long balls and the exit velocity off the bat. [/QUOTE]
