Is Marlins Park unnecessarily big?

August 22nd was a pristine, under-the-dome night for baseball in Miami, as the New York Yankees took on the Marlins. The Park was more crowded than ever, thanks in part to a well-traveling contingency of nationwide Yankees fans.

In the second inning, Gleyber Torres stepped up to the plate and hit a towering fly ball with a launch angle of 36 degrees and an exit velocity of 95.7 miles per hour. The thunderous crack of the bat was met and ooh’s and ah’s from around the stadium, all before the ball nestled softly into the glove of Magneuris Sierra for the out.
