How far would it go?

Put in the exit velo and launch angle. Add backspin if you have it. The calculator runs the ball through gravity, drag, and lift until it hits the ground.

This estimates where the ball would land at field level with no seats or walls in the way. It follows Alan Nathan's Statcast-fitted trajectory model, including gravity, air drag, and the Magnus effect. Real baseballs can still fly differently because of wind, seams, spin axis, and the ball itself.
