9. I Questioned The Distance Numbers All Night

In particular, during round 1, Cruz hit one that went right over the 375' sign.
It landed about 10 rows in. The statcast showed it as 445'
10 rows is 75'? And, the trajectory was such that ball was falling nearly straight down.
That ball was 405' at most.
After that, I was dubious about every distance they reported.
Rahleigh's homerun did not look like 513' to me, either.
