Something that has always confused me is the constant talk about how Yankee Stadium is the perfect park for lefty power hitters. That, of course, is attributed to the short porch in right field. The counterargument to it is pretty clear to me though — if the hitter is already a power-hitting lefty, why the heck would they need a short porch? If anything, it’s most beneficial to softer hitting lefties like Didi Gregorius or Brett Gardner.
Now, thinking strictly for right-handed hitters, it’s ideal if you have a somewhat inside-out swing that puts your barrel in a position to hit the ball hard in the air to the opposite field.
