The Physics Of Marlins Park

marlins, marlins park, marlins ballpark, miami marlinsI am sure you have thought about the differences between Sun Life Stadium and Marlins Park as far as home runs go.

I know it has only been two games so far, but it seems like we won’t be seeing too many home runs at the new park.

During last night’s game, there were many close calls. Only one home run occured, and that was by J.D. Martinez of the Houston Astros. It barely landed in the Clevelander.

Luckily, the Marlins won 5-4 thanks to Gaby Sanchez and his double to let Chris Coghlan score.

Check out this really interesting video straight from FIU that touches on the physics of the new ballpark. A Physics professor at FIU, Mr. Brian Raue gives us a little lesson in physics in baseball.

  1. I love that it was JD who hit that homer. Fitting for a native Miami boy who happens to be Cuban to be the first….
