I couldn’t find any definitive answers on the effects of wind in OOTP14, particularly on home runs. I took a crude look at this, using two fictional teams. I set both ballparks to the same cosmetic settings, with fence heights of 10ft. I set all ballpark factors to 1.000. One team was set to play in a dome with no wind, the other team was set to 15mph wind. I ran 1000 game simulations with games played in the dome, then 1000 games each with the wind blowing in from center, blowing out to center, and blowing from left to right.

Taking the combined team home run totals from the teams for each circumstance, it would seem that the wind does have some expected effect on home runs at least. Wind blowing out produced the most HR’s per game, wind blowing in produced the least, and wind blowing across produced slightly less than the no wind dome.

Have any of our resident heavyweight analysts or anyone else done a more in depth study on this? I’d love some more insight on this.
Thanks!
