What moves the ball at Angel Stadium
Elevation
Angel Stadium is at 151 ft (17th of 30 by elevation). Elevation has only a slight effect at this height; day-to-day changes in temperature and wind matter more.
Temperature
Warm air is less dense than cold air, so a hot night at Angel Stadium carries better than a cold one with the same wind. Early-season and late-season night games here play noticeably heavier than mid-summer afternoons.
Humidity
Humid air is slightly lighter than dry air, so higher humidity helps carry a little — the opposite of what most people expect. It is a minor factor next to temperature and wind.
Wind
Wind blowing out toward the outfield adds carry and wind blowing in takes it away, and speed matters as much as direction. Angel Stadium's stored center-field bearing is being re-checked, so this page does not say which compass wind blows out here yet.
