Copy of Going, going, gone?

In this image Jason Werth, of the Washington Nationals, has hit the baseball. Did he get enough of it to hit a home run? Most major league parks require at least 330 ft. Use the sliders to create a parabola that models the path of the ball. Did he hit a homer????
Use the sliders to manipulate the parabola. Make note of the effect each variable has on the shape and position of the parabola. Do your best to make the parabola cover the path of the ball that is given, then use the parabola to explain your reasoning.
