Home runs are becoming more frequent in Major League Baseball (MLB) due to climate change, a new study finds.
"There's a very clear physical mechanism at play in which warmer temperatures reduce the density of air," study co-author Justin Mankin, an assistant professor of geography at Dartmouth University in New Hampshire, said in the statement. "Baseball is a game of ballistics, and a batted ball is going to fly farther on a warm day."
