I wonder if they have changed the code for home runs
-
I'm pretty sure there was no code for "home run". Instead the code was for distance based upon a number of factors and if the distance exceeded the wall then it was a home run.
I recently moved the fences back in my created stadium because I was seeing an inordinate number of home runs. Instead of fewer home runs I started seeing longer home runs. Players with 40's and 50's power were hitting 480 and 490 foot home runs.
I wonder if part of the gameplay changes they referenced in the franchise promo video was there is now a dice roll for a home run. If the result comes up home run then regardless of player or stadium dimensions it's a home run.

the hitting engine does clearly have a little more RNG in it than it should so this checks out
