Oh, no doubt, Trenton is probably the most Petco-like park of all the EL parks, but the rest of them are pretty tilted towards the defense too, no?

Eh, probably less.

Our little RAB dreams of Jeter moving to the OF and Jorge moving to DH are probably not happening anytime soon. Or perhaps at all.

It’s not just the dimension though, the wind coming off the river just eats up fly balls.

Trenton is a pitcher’s park, but basically all the other parks in the EL are also pitcher’s parks. So the fact that Z-Mac’s road numbers are better doesn’t per se mean that his good numbers aren’t merely inflated by friendly home park effects. He’s also benefiting from friendly road park effects.

if those are the park factors then it is not that much of a pitchers park.
