How Daikin Park plays
Against right-handed hitters Daikin Park is hitter friendly for home runs, with a home run factor of 117 in 2026. Against left-handed hitters it is close to neutral, at 101. At 43 feet, elevation is not a meaningful factor here.
Because the roof can be closed, conditions here are constant on any night the roof is shut and no weather adjustment applies. On an open roof night the park behaves like an open air venue and wind matters again.
Reading these numbers
Each column is an index where 100 is the league average for that outcome. The home run column is the one that moves DFS and betting decisions most, because home runs are the highest variance scoring event and the one most sensitive to stadium shape. The hard hit column is useful as a check: if home runs are elevated but hard hit contact is not, the park is converting ordinary contact into home runs through its dimensions rather than through better hitting.
Read the row that matches which side of the plate the hitter stands on. A single blended number hides the handedness split, which at an asymmetric park is usually the part that matters.
