Old alum:
Agreed, the obvious assumption is that humid air is heavier.
But it isn't. It's less dense.
And staying with the power theme:
Stanford has two mega sluggers (hitters with ISO power over .300):
Wulff (.320) and Daschbach (.326).
The Bulldogs don't have one.
Stanford has three other sluggers (hitters with ISO power over .200):
Bella (.246), Matthiesen (.231), and Stowers (.214)
Mississippi State has one, Fosco (.250),
The rest of their lineup features a lot of guys with Tawa-type (.162 ISO) power.
Their third-leading home run hitter has just seven.
