The Great Wall of Baltimore is coming down. Orioles general manager Mike Elias announced in a news conference on Friday afternoon that the expanded left field fence dimensions will be changing after three seasons. The new fence will be somewhere in between where things used to be and where things are now.
In the conference where he revealed the coming change to the park’s dimensions, Elias used the word “overcorrected” when talking about the change that created Walltimore. That much was apparent after seeing the substantial impact to the home run potential of some of the team’s right-handed hitters.
