Type and surface are completely cosmetic. There is a default picture for a grass field and a synthetic turf field so that is the setting that sets which default picture to use.

Wall distance and height is purely cosmetic also. It's the rates that you are questioning that set how frequently the various hits are resulted.

So the rates are the only thing that matters. The RHB vs LHB side of things just have to do with how often things happen to those types of batters and the sides of the field they happen to. The RHB section will result in more things going to LF, LCF and CF and fewer to RF. The LHB section results in more going to RF, RCF and CF and less so to LF.

If you have a 1000 foot distance and a 1.0000 rate of HR. And if you have a 250 ft distance and a 1.0000 rate of HR they will have the same amount of HR hit during a season (in an avg year).
