What exit velocity and launch angle produce home runs?

MLB home runs typically require EV > 95 mph and LA between 25–35°. The 'barrel' zone (EV > 98 mph, LA 26–30°) produces the highest slugging percentage. Average MLB home run: 103.5 mph EV, 28° LA, travelling ~400 feet.

How much does a 1 mph increase in exit velocity add to distance?

Approximately 5–6 feet of carry per 1 mph increase in exit velocity at optimal launch angle. A hitter improving EV from 88 to 95 mph (7 mph) adds roughly 35–42 feet, potentially converting warning-track flyouts to home runs.
