Citi Field Park Factors

New York MetsOpen Air20 ft elevation

Is Citi Field hitter friendly?

Citi Field is pitcher friendly. The home run park factor is 89 for left-handed hitters and 100 for right-handed hitters, with 100 as the league average. A number above 105 means the park boosts home runs for that handedness, while a number below 95 means it suppresses them. The runs factor is 98 for left-handed hitters and 90 for right-handed hitters. Both numbers sit below the league average, which means the park suppresses scoring and favors pitchers. It is the home of the New York Mets.

How does Citi Field affect home runs?

The home run park factor at Citi Field is 89 for left-handed hitters and 100 for right-handed hitters. The index is set to 100 as the league average, so anything above 100 means more home runs than a neutral park and anything below 100 means fewer. At 20 feet elevation, the air density is close to sea level, so elevation does not add meaningful distance. Wind direction and speed can add to or subtract from home run distance, so check today's weather above. The handedness split matters because outfields are asymmetric: a park can boost left-handed power while suppressing right-handed power, or vice versa.

Does weather matter at Citi Field?

Citi Field is an open-air stadium, so wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity all affect how fly balls carry. Wind blowing out to center field adds carry and can turn warning track fly balls into home runs, while wind blowing in does the opposite. Warm air is less dense and helps balls carry, while cold air is denser and suppresses distance. No game is scheduled today, so no live weather impact is shown. Check the weather section above for the full breakdown.

How do I use Citi Field park factors in DFS?

Use the park factor index to adjust your DraftKings and FanDuel projections for hitters playing at Citi Field. A home run factor above 100 means you can bump up home run projections for hitters in the lineup, especially for the handedness with the higher number. A factor below 100 means you should lower expectations for home runs and focus on hitters who get on base through other means. Layer today's weather on top of the park factor: wind blowing out adds carry, wind blowing in takes it away, and temperature shifts the whole run environment. When the park and weather both favor offense, stack hitters from the team with the better matchup. When they suppress offense, consider the pitcher and look for value elsewhere. The park factor is one input among many, alongside the starting pitcher, the lineup quality and the individual matchup, so use it as part of the full picture rather than on its own.
