If you have no idea how baseball is influenced by weather, you’re missing out on one of the most interesting aspects of the game. Change the way you watch baseball with The Weather Factor, the only baseball analytics app to combine baseball stats with weather to give you insight into the outcome of upcoming games.

Weather has a significant impact on the outcome of a baseball game. In 2013, 5 time All-Star Josh Hamilton batted over 100 points better in temperatures above 80°F than in temperatures under 70°F. Meanwhile, Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum had a whopping 123 strikeouts in temperatures below 70°F and only 70 strikeouts in temperatures above 70°F. You may know that Denver Colorado is considered a hitters launching pad because of its high altitude, but did you know that temperature, humidity and weather systems can have a similar effect on how well a baseball carries or curves? A temperature drop of 5 degrees can be the difference between a home run, a double off the wall, or a fly out.
