Target Field park factors

Target Field ranks 4th of 29 on the three year rolling run index at 106, and 2026 on its own is running 96, a drop of 10 points against that baseline, which is the kind of gap worth watching rather than assuming. The most extreme number here is the doubles index at 113, 5th highest in baseball on the three year rolling view.

Park factor history

Five single seasons and the three year rolling view Baseball Savant shows by default. Reading them side by side is how you tell a park that has changed from a park that had one odd year.

Statcast park factors for Target Field. 100 is league average. The strikeout column reads from the hitter's side, so a number above 100 means the park suppresses contact.

The ballpark itself

Elevation is 828 feet, close to the 518 foot league average, so altitude is not doing anything here. Home plate points southeast toward centre field, at 129.0 degrees, which is what turns a wind forecast into a blowing out or blowing in read rather than a guess. Playing surface is grass. The average fence sits 370 feet from the plate, 1 feet shallower than the league average, and the average wall is 13.9 feet high.

Measured fence distance and wall height from the Statcast park dimensions record for 2026, with the difference against the 30 park average in the adjacent column. Average wall height here is 13.9 feet against a league average of 9.7, and the average home run at this park travels 384 feet.

What it means for a bet

Totals

The park adds runs, so the posted total already reflects it. The edge is not in backing overs blind, it is in the days the market treats this park as generic: a cold night, a closed roof, or a pitching matchup that moves the number further than the park justifies.

Home run props

Scoring runs ahead of home runs by 12 points, so the runs come from balls in play rather than over the fence. Fade home run props, look at hits and total bases instead.

Every index on this page is a three year rolling figure unless the column says otherwise, and all of it is league relative: 100 is average, not neutral in an absolute sense. Park factors describe the venue, not tonight's pitching matchup, and they are the starting point of a number rather than the whole of it.
