Climate change is making major league sluggers into even hotter hitters, sending an extra 50 or so home runs a year over the fences, a new study found
.
Both Nathan and the Dartmouth team found a 1% increase in home run likelihood with every degree the air warms . Total yearly average of warming-aided homers is only 1% of all home runs hit, the Dartmouth researchers calculated. “It’s interesting to think about,” said five-time All-Star pitcher David Cone, who once threw a perfect game and is now a television baseball analyst. “I’d probably more likely look at the makeup of the baseball itself, the variances and the specs. Of course, weather matters, definitely I wouldn’t shoo it away.”
The average U.S. temperature in June, July and August has increased by more than 2 degrees in the last 40 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Climate change adding 50 homers a year in MLB, study saysClimate change is making major league sluggers into even hotter hitters, sending an extra 50 or so home runs a year over the fences, a new study found. Hotter, thinner air that allows balls to fly farther contributed a tiny bit to a surge in home runs since 2010, according to a statistical analysis by Dartmouth College scientists published in Friday’s Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. They analyzed 100,000 major league games and more than 200,000 balls put into play in the last few years along with weather conditions, stadiums and other factors. “Global warming is juicing home runs in Major League Baseball,” said study co-author Justin Mankin, a Dartmouth climate scientist.
