    Exit velocity and launch angle are the two most important factors in how far a ball will travel, but the spin of the ball also plays a role. A ball with backspin will go farther than a ball with no spin or a ball with topspin. For this reason the ideal home run swing is slightly more level than the incoming angle of the pitch, thereby imparting backspin on the ball. Also, I have read that bat speed is the biggest factor in exit velocity but pitch velocity also comes into play. The faster the pitch, the faster the rebound off the bat. I've said this before, but I think there will come a time when Miguel Sano will connect with a 98-MPH pitch and hit a fair ball over the third deck at Target field.

    Haven't read and probably won't read much of this. I was traveling during much of the game and listened to the Texas radio feed on Sirus/XM for most of the first few innings. There was something the Rangers announcers did correctly that none of the Twins announcers do. In Spanish s is pronounced s. Not z. One would think that the least someone making their living on the airwaves could do is make the effort to pronounce names correctly, especially baseball announcers saying Hispanic names. Minor issue, yes, but it bugs me.
