Abstract
Altitude (or elevation) can have significant impact on the way a baseball travels after it is hit by a baseball player. Thus, understanding the effects of elevation on baseball can be important for players, coaches, and teams in determining game strategies and evaluating player performance. In this study, data is used from Kaggle to examine the effects of different variables from all 30 baseball stadiums. This data is from Major League Baseball (MLB) ballparks from the 2022 season. After researching, I have found that there is a direct, positive correlation between stadium elevation and hitting distance.
