Park factors: Yankee3 v Citi
In a great article in Hardball Times annual, Greg looks at the batted balls at the new Yankee Stadium and Citi. The interesting finding is that while Yankee Stadium turns long flyballs into HR, it also turns almost-long flyballs into outs. Citi field however turns almost-long flyballs into hits. So, this would be an example of where the HR park factor and the Runs park factor on non-HR are not directly related (either unrelated, or inversely-related).
Ideally, we’d have a ballpark overlay tool, like this one, but for all batted balls, not just HR:
Studes: any chance you can put up a “preview” of each article in Hardball Times Annual, like we did for The Book? It would certainly make life easier to link to various articles in THT 2010. I’d say showing 5% to 10% of each article on the website would be perfect.
