Home park adjustments

By , 06:40 PM

Let’s say that 2 players play in the same home park and that it is an extreme hitter’s park, like COL or ARI.  In fact, we’ll say that the true home park OPS factor is 1.08.

Player A has an OPS of .900 at home and .750 on the road and player B is .810 at home and .810 on the road.  Playing time at home and on the road is the same for both players.  We’ll also assume that OPS is the only stat you have for these players (you don’t know the components).

You are going to dole out an award to one or the other player for offensive performance, but you want to take the park out of the equation - essentially park neutralize the performance.

To whom would you give the award and why?
