We’ve all understood for a while that the ballpark you play in can alter the kinds of numbers that a player puts up. That works for both hitters and pitchers. We usually call those park factors, and in the minor leagues, I’ve written up all of those for the past season. I’ve broken them down for how they altered batting average and power, as well as broken down how left, center and right field plays for each park since the handedness of a hitter really comes into play there. We aren’t going to get into that today, but if you’re interested in it, you can check all of that out here.
