Minor League Ballpark Factors

plubbr · 03-01-2004, 01:29 AM

I don't know if anyone has figured this out , but I just started thinking about it. Do the minors use the same park effects that their affiliated ML teams use. I haven't done any investigating within the game, and I was wondering if anyone had. Just something that came across my mind.

I was wondering that myself once. I think they actually do, because I have a team whose park factor for home runs is only 25. Home runs are pretty uncommon there. Their minor leaguers seem to hit less homers as well.

It would make sense that they would. I believe they even "play" against the same teams that the Major League team is playing against.

Yes, I believe your second sentence is true as well.

I dont think the game has them, but the BP 2004 book should.

So does the current issue of Baseball America.

I think having customizable minor league park factors would be an excellent idea.
