Part 3/7:
On the other end of the spectrum, some parks are notoriously tough for hitters. Oracle Park in San Francisco topped the list as the least home run-friendly venue, followed by Oakland Coliseum. Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium and Chase Field rounded out the bottom section. These findings indicate that factors like deep gaps and extensive outfield territory can make hitting home runs significantly more challenging.
The conversation also briefly touched on Miami’s loanDepot park, which, contrary to some beliefs, did not rank in the bottom of the list for least homers. This discrepancy highlights the fact that not all perceptions of ballparks correspond with the statistical realities.
