Does it clear a low fence in center field 380 feet away?(ball is hit from the same ht as the ht of fence)

............
A baseball leaves the bat at a speed of 105ft/s at an angle of 37degrees with the horizontal.

-
Distance ball travels (no air resistance = velocity^2 x sine (2 x angle)/g = 105^2 x sine 74/32.2
Distance is 329 feet..........it does not reach the fence.

-
range of object projected at an angle θ
R = (V²/g)sin(2θ)
V is initial velocity in m/s
g is the acceleration of gravity 9.8 m/s²

380 ft = 115.8
105 ft/s = 32 m/s

R = (V²/g)sin(2θ) = (32²/9.8)sin(74) = 100.4 m

no
