The baseball stadium that makes Coors Field look pitcher friendly

The home of the Diablos Rojos del México, a Mexican league team, spurred reactions on social media due to its extreme altitude. The stadium is a whopping 2,070 feet higher than Coors Field in Denver, sitting at 7,349 feet above sea level.
 
The Giants and Padres took full advantage of the dizzying heights on Saturday, playing a contest that ended in a 16-11 San Diego victory. The teams combined for 11 home runs, including tape-measure shots by Brandon Crawford (482 feet) and LaMonte Wade Jr.'s (474 feet).

Although the teams were three home runs short of breaking the 2019 record of 13 in a game, set by the Phillies and Diamondbacks, the barrage of bombs was historical in other ways:

While they didn't have the most total homers in a game, the altitude enabled the teams to hit the ball much farther than normally possible. Baseball Savant shows us just how much it helps with their exit velocity and launch angle tool, which visualizes every batted ball within inputted parameters.
 
Take a fifth-inning home run by Fernando Tatis Jr. for example. He hit the ball at 95.4 miles per hour with a launch angle of 38 degrees. According to Baseball Savant, batted balls with that profile have a .074 batting average and get over the fence a mere 5% of the time.

Sunday's game, while not as high-scoring as the previous day, still saw four balls leave the yard in a 6-4 San Diego win. After the offensive outburst that occurred over the weekend, the pitchers on both staffs are probably relieved to leave.

Speaking of relieved, there was no shortage of pitching changes over the weekend. The Giants used eight different pitchers in two days, three of whom pitched twice. The Padres used eight as well, but with no repeat appearances. 

The respective tolls taken on both bullpens could hurt, especially for the Giants. San Francisco has to make the trek to Houston -- without an off day -- to face a potent Astros lineup. 

Meanwhile, San Diego looks to build off of their first sweep this season, heading back home for a three-game set against the Cincinnati Reds.
