Fenway Park has them, too. They're called fungo circles. It's where the coach stands when hitting fungoes (baseballs off a fungo bat, which is narrower than a regular bat and gives the coach greater control over where the ball goes) during infield practice so the coach doesn't mess up the batter's box and catcher's box lines or wear out the grass.

At every field, actually.
Fungo circles. During fielding practice (which may or may not be concurrent with BP), a coach will stand in either circle and using a fungo bat (flattened on one side), hit balls to particular players around the field, as part of a defensive drill.

Not all MLB fields have them for who ever said that. Why would the on deck circles be that close to the batter's box anyway? They should be by the dug outs. Maybe their crop circles. lol.
