Shown for: batter and pitcher.

Formula

max(dist_sum) — the longest tracked batted ball of the span. Free of any new fact, the same way max_ev is: dist_sum already stores each plate appearance's own tracked distance.

Inputs

pitches.hit_distance_sc
plate_appearances.dist_sum

Era caveats

Three tracking systems across the seasons shown

Rows carry a tracking_era of trackman, hawkeye or hawkeye_bat (migration 001). The systems differ in what they measure and how precisely, so long spans cross a measurement boundary as well as a rule one.
