MLB wind carry today

Which way is the wind blowing at each ballpark today, and is it blowing out or in? This page lists every remaining MLB game with the wind at the park, its direction relative to center field, the roof situation, temperature and humidity. Wind out to center helps fly balls carry; wind in knocks them down; a closed roof takes wind out of play. Readings come from the same forecast feed as The Cold Line's live weather board and refresh through the day.

Wind carry questions

What does "wind blowing out" mean in baseball?

It means the wind is moving from home plate toward the outfield. A wind blowing out helps fly balls carry; a wind blowing in from the outfield knocks them down; a cross-wind pushes them toward one foul line. What counts is the wind direction relative to each park’s center field, not the compass alone.

How is wind vs center field worked out?

The Cold Line compares the forecast wind direction at the ballpark with the park’s center-field bearing (the compass direction from home plate to center). The same north wind can blow out at one park and in at another.

Does wind matter in a domed or retractable-roof stadium?

Not when the roof is closed. 1 MLB park has a fixed roof and 7 have retractable roofs; the wind only matters at a retractable park when the roof is open. T-Mobile Park in Seattle is the exception — its canopy has open sides.

How far does a ball carry in Denver?

Farther than anywhere else in MLB. Coors Field sits at 5,190 ft, and thinner air means less drag on every fly ball. See the Coors Field carry guide for how elevation, the humidor, temperature and wind combine there.

Where is the carry number for each game?

The Cold Line’s carry range for each game — a model estimate, in feet, of how much today’s wind and temperature add or take away from a fly ball to center — is part of the Groundskeeper plan. This page shows the public wind read for free.
