Your park factors are set to hurt RHB (or to aid LHB more).
Per the user's manual:

Ballpark Factors
The Ballpark Factors section directly impacts how hitters perform in the selected ballpark, over a large sample size. Ballpark Factors are extremely important, as they directly affect the outcome of plays in a given park.
Ballpark factors are based on a "norm" of 1.000. That is, a ballpark with all 1.000 factors is essentially a "neutral" park where hitters will all perform similarly.
Ballpark Dimensions
The Ballpark Dimensions section describes the size of the selected ballpark.
Ballpark dimensions are purely cosmetic! It's the ballpark factors that actually influence the game engine. That is, making a ballpark with a 500-foot center field won't make it any harder to hit home runs to center if the home run factors are still 1.000.

So the important figure here for raw stats output is the park factor, not the dimensions. Making the dimensions right is valuable only to the point that it makes the play by play and game log descriptions of home runs feel right (or more immersive).
If you want "accurate" stats, get the factors right for each park. If you want "accurate" descriptions, get the dimensions right for each park.
