ballpark factors?

sea is listed as +12% for strike outs...is this from the hitters perspective?

[RAY@HQ]

Yes, all % on that table are from the hitter perspective.

[RAY@HQ]

Of course, 12% more K's for hitters also means 12% more K's for pitchers.

[pieman63]

if +12% represents more strike outs for hitters shouldnt the box be shaded red as a big disadvantage then?

Yeah, probably. Appears we have it set to just shade all positive numbers as blue and negatives as red. Let me look into that.

Sorry, I just checked with Ron, and I had this wrong. Here's the right answer:

That chart is not positioned as hitter or pitcher focused. It's just stats. What stats are there more of in each park.

thanks for the reply....on to a related topic...citizens park shows an incredible increase in hr both lhb and rhb yet it only shows an increase in runs of 5%...seems is should be up around the coors tier..no?

I don't have the underlying data, but I don't think that correlation necessarily has to hold. PHI is a hitter's park, but it's not Coors.
