In baseball there are hitters parks and pitchers parks. Can someone rank each park based on this criteria?

Question

Just wondering of all the MLB parks, which are hitters parks and which are pitchers parks. A ranking of the best hitters and pitchers parks would be great. thanks.

Answer 1

Sure here we go,

AL Hitters Parks first

Indians
White Sox
Texas
Red Sox
Baltimore
Toronto
Devil Rays

NL HITTERS PARKS

Houston
Cubs
Brewers
Pirates
Reds
Philly
Rockies

All the rest are pitching parks
SF
LA Dogers
Diamondbacks
Padres
Oakland
Seattle
Detroit
KC Royals
Min Twins
St Louis
NY Mets
Florida Marlins
NY Yankees
Atlanta

The only one that could be classes as either is possibly Angels stadium in So Cal. Doesn't really give an advantage although it has been referred to as somewhat of a pitchers park more then a hitters.

Answer 2

That would be difficult to do, but oddly I`ve heard that most of the parks in the American League, are hitters parks. They have shorter fences in the corners, & most don`t go much over 400 ft. to straight away center. The biggest hitters park was in Colorado, but that was because of the thin air. They`ve started keeping their baseballs in a humidor so they don`t carry as far now. The best pitchers parks really depend on how far out & how high the fences are. & whether the wind tends to blow in.

Answer 3

Last season, Great American was the top hitter's park, while Petco was best for pitchers. Petco is holding its title as the best pitcher's park this season, but Fenway is ahead of GAB for the hitters.

Here's a list of the park factors rankings this season, and the same page will allow you to check for the past several seasons:
