Tropicana Field park factors

Tropicana Field ranks 26th of 29 on the three year rolling run index at 94, and the 2026 season alone is at 98, close enough to the baseline that the park is behaving the way it has for three years. The most extreme number here is the walk index at 91, 1st lowest 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 Tropicana 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

Essentially at sea level, 15 feet, where heavy air and any marine influence work against carry. Home plate points north toward centre field, at 359.0 degrees, which is what turns a wind forecast into a blowing out or blowing in read rather than a guess. The roof is listed as dome in the MLB venue record, so the run environment changes with the roof call. Playing surface is artificial turf. The average fence sits 374 feet from the plate, 3 feet deeper than the league average, and the average wall is 10.3 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 10.3 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

A genuine run suppressor, and the under is priced accordingly. The profitable version is usually the first five innings, where the park effect is strongest and the bullpen has not had a say yet.

Home run props

Home runs outrun overall scoring here by 11 index points. That is the signature of a park that gives up damage in bursts: quiet innings and then a three run swing. Home run props and team total overs read better than the game total.

Handedness

The home run index favours right handed hitters by 30 points (118 against 88). When a lineup is stacked the other way, the park is doing less for them than the headline number suggests.

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.
