Park Effect: Which Ballparks Helped the Most?
Comparing home-run carry across MLB stadiums in 2025
The same swing does not travel the same way in every ballpark. A home run in one stadium can be a warning-track out in another, even when the exit velocity and launch angle look nearly identical.
This page uses Statcast home-run data to compare how much a ballpark seems to boost or suppress home-run carry. Instead of treating every home run as identical, we compare each stadium’s median home-run distance to the season-wide median and ask: which parks were most generous to hitters in 2025?
What this plot is showing
This chart compares each stadium’s median home-run distance against the overall 2025 median. Positive values indicate a park where home runs tended to carry farther than the league average; negative values suggest a tougher environment for hitters.
