Wrigley Field park factors

Wrigley Field ranks 22nd of 29 on Savant's 2024 to 2026 run index at 96, and 2026 so far is running 106, a jump of 10 points against that baseline, which is the kind of gap worth watching rather than assuming. The most extreme number here is the triples index at 119, 7th highest in baseball on Savant's 2024 to 2026 view.

Park factor history

Five single seasons and the 2024 to 2026 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 Wrigley 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 595 feet, close to the 518 foot league average, so altitude is not doing anything here. Home plate points northeast toward centre field, at 37.0 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 368 feet from the plate, 4 feet shallower than the league average, and the average wall is 11.2 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 11.2 feet against a league average of 9.7, and the average home run at this park travels 379 feet.

What it means for a bet

Totals

Close to neutral on runs, which makes this a park where the pitching matchup and the weather carry the total rather than the venue.

Home run props

Home runs outrun overall scoring here by 10 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.

Time of day

Day games run 6 points lower on the run index than night games (92 against 98), which is a real split and not one most totals models carry.

Every index on this page is a 2024 to 2026 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.
