What moves the ball at loanDepot park
Elevation
loanDepot park sits essentially at sea level (10 ft, 28th of 30 by elevation). Air density here is about as heavy as it gets in MLB, so elevation adds nothing — temperature and wind decide how the ball travels.
Temperature
With the roof open, warm air (less dense) helps carry and cold air hurts it, as at any outdoor park. With the roof closed, the bowl is climate-controlled and temperature drops out of the read.
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
Home plate faces southeast, so a wind out of the northwest blows straight out to center and helps carry, while a wind from the southeast blows in and knocks fly balls down. Cross-winds push the ball toward one line — at loanDepot park the shorter right-field corner (335′) is where a helping wind shows up first. All of this applies only when the roof is open.
