My home stadium is the Metrodome, I've never really paid much attention to the park effects before, so not sure what would constitute a pitcher's park in regards to those. But the Park Effects for my home field are:
AVG RHB: 100
AVG LHB: 102
HR RHB: 86
HR LHB: 106
2B: 113
3B: 106

He's hitting directly in front of my best power hitter, Bucky Jacobsen (78 contact, 88 power, 72 eye), who is hitting .318 with 12 HRs, 41 RBIs, .429 OBP, and .996 OPS.

Also to take into consideration, 4 of my 5 SPs pitch significantly worse at home, while the other is only a little worse. Johan Santana for example has a 1.30 ERA on the road and a 3.99 ERA at home, in an equal number of starts. Which I think would probably lead me to believe its not a pitchers park.
Thats a lefty power park, 20 points higher.

Bucky is also a righty, a lefty with those stats could easily be around 20 hr's mid-season in that park.

Guessing they have lower movement ratings, and are giving up long balls at home to left handed power hitters.
