The warning track is 15 feet wide, even if the ball does add what I think is a ridiculous 20 feet to every hit, then only 25% of warning track shots would leave the stadium. If one happens every 2 games, which I also think is a high estimate, then that's a whopping 7.5 extra home runs last year, which falls squarely in my 5-10% estimate. That's as simply as I can break it down for you

Solid logic. Every ball is hit to the edge of the warning track.

Again... this is what you used as an explanation.
