Park Dimensions - Defense

dcpuck · 11-18-2019, 06:10 PM

I've found a lot of posts regarding ballparks influence on batting stats. Does anyone know if dimensions play into defense as well? For example will park with a huge CF benefit a great CF more? Will a short porch help hide a bad glove in a corner OF role?

i am guessing no.
It is only based on L or R handed batter and the % assigned to it.
So if you have a right handed spray hitter with left handed avg peak and right handed average lowest, unfortunately the right hander spray hitter is affected as much as a right handed pull hitter
