Why Baseball Players Hit More Home Runs
為什麼棒球員會擊出更多全壘打
Introduction
More players will hit home runs soon. This happens because the weather is warm and the balls are different.
很快會有更多球員擊出全壘打。這是因為天氣較溫暖，且球的材質有所不同。
Main Body
Warm air is thin. The ball moves faster and further in warm air. Also, the new balls move better through the air. This helps the ball fly five feet further.
暖空氣較稀薄。球在暖空氣中移動得更快且更遠。此外，新球在空氣中的飛行性能更好，能幫助球飛行得更遠五英尺。
Some players hit the ball high and to the side. Royce Lewis and Tyler Stephenson do this. They will likely hit more home runs. Mookie Betts is healthy now, so he will hit better too.
有些球員會將球擊得較高且偏向側面。Royce Lewis 和 Tyler Stephenson 就是如此。他們很可能會擊出更多全壘打。Mookie Betts 現在恢復健康，因此表現也會更好。
Other players are different. Caminero hits the ball very hard. Gonzales is lucky right now, but he may hit worse soon. Garcia is not stealing bases because his coach changed the plan.
其他球員則有所不同。Caminero 擊球力道非常強。Gonzales 目前運氣較好，但可能很快表現會下滑。Garcia 因為教練更改了計劃，所以目前不再盜壘。
Conclusion
Warm summer air and new balls will help many players hit more home runs.
夏季的暖空氣與新球將幫助許多球員擊出更多全壘打。
