Reno and the Pacific Coast League has been known as both a huge hitter-friendly park and league, but it’s also home to the Diamondbacks AAA affiliate since the 2009 season. What makes Reno a notorious hitter-friendly park is the elevation, with Coors Field being the only MLB park with higher elevation than Greater Nevada Field, and drier air in Reno than in Denver. In addition, there is also a wind tunnel in right-center that can cause a fly ball hit in that direction to carry farther than expected and inflate extra base hit totals. In the thirteen seasons they’ve been affiliated with Arizona, we’ve seen some pretty eye-popping hitter numbers from hitters of varying talents to have mixed results in MLB.
