Weighted Park Factors, 2003-2005
The question has come up repeatedly here are 3-year weighted park factors for all active major and minor league teams, not counting rookie league teams (since I don’t translate rookie league stats, I don’t keep the factors). The weights are 8,5,3. For teams that got new parks, only the stats from the new park count.

1. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: December 06, 2005 at 05:07 PM (#1763855)Biggest pitching/hitting park (by classification):
San Diego 0.82 / Colorado 1.34
Portland 0.81 / Albuquerque & Tuscon 1.32

South Bend 0.84 / Kane County 1.30
Vancouver 0.86 / Tri Cities (NYP) 1.30
Interesting, because Jupiter and Palm Beach are the same stadium.
Yeah, that struck me as weird. They share office space and a lot of their employees, too, no?
Anyone who's seen all of James' projections, how are they looking? The scattered ones I've seen are really high. Some people feel mine are on the high side and times and I have Markakis at 266/333/398 and Pie at 273/319/409 but James had both of them in the .800-.900 OPS range, if memory serves.

Incidentally, how do people feel about regressing park factors?
James' major league projections are pretty standard. However, any player that has zero or little major league experience always get high grades. Mike Jacob's had a lofty projection, so did Hermida, Markakis, Willingham, and pretty much every other major league ready prospect. He did that last year too, although it seems a bit higher this year. I don't put much weight into them -- yours are more realistic.
I'll have to extricate the 3-year factors from my spreadsheet.
For 2005, if you call FSL a 1.00, the league factor for the California League would be 1.27.
I have run park factors from BPro, and Baseball America published park factors for a single year. I've never seen the detailed PF's for minor leagues before.
It surprises me that Spokane is homer good and double ungood because there's a high wall there.
Why the weighting? To account for stadium changes? I would think less weighting would be better.
Which begs the questions: If it's exactly neutral for hits, and essentially so (1.02) for runs, how can the HR factor be so high? Is the slightly low walk rate (.96) suppressing runs that much?
Also, are triples now so rare that there is no way to calculate for them (or are they so rare they're irrelevant)?
Someone sent me the raw data and I calculated them.
Why the weighting? To account for stadium changes?
Stadium changes and the mix of road stadium factors changes a lot. These are generally small leagues and changing a road city or road stadium can have a major impact.
Actually Colorado Springs is almost 1,000 feet higher than Denver. The issue is that the rest of the cities in their league are at a much higher aggregate altitude than the rest of the cities in the National League.
Also, I think triples would be more dependent on speed of ballplayers than the ballpark. Unless the park favors triples by an extreme amount, probably best to ignore the triples factor (i.e., mark it 1.00).
Dan, if you felt even more magnanimous, adding the # of years of data as a column (3,3,1,3,2,etc...) might be nice.
I haven't seen his #s for '06 yet, but BJ's projections for rookie position players are more optimistic than almost everyone else's - I, too, take 'em with a grain of salt.
Perhaps nowdays, with triples so rare, that's true. But it sure wasn't true anything further than 20-30 years ago, when triples were more plentiful. There were enormous differences between ballparks in triples production. Forbes Field was a veritable Triples Factory.
I'll do that, but it'll take me some time.
Dan (27), that would be very cool of you to do, but don't kill yourself or anything... I'm appreciative for what you've presented already.
I agree with this. Was only discussing the park factors above for the present day parks.
What's an extreme amount, Greg? I bet if you were to pull out specs on a series of parks and then guess whether or not it was going to be good or bad for triples, you'd be right a majority of the time.
I'm not sure, as I would want to examine the numbers. Yes, I'm sure a larger park would produce more triples, but would it be significant in present day? I think the important question is whether or not the park factor adjustment increases or decreases the error present in one's prediction or model. While you would probably more accurately predict or model those fast runners who can take advantage of the larger park (or conversely, are hurt by a smaller park), you could be negatively affecting all other batters who would still be at second base. I don't know. Might be way off here.
While you would probably more accurately predict or model those fast runners who can take advantage of the larger park (or conversely, are hurt by a smaller park), you could be negatively affecting all other batters who would still be at second base.
Well, they probably didn't get past second before either, so they shouldn't suddenly be projected to hit lots of triples. Furthermore, I suspect that slower runners might contribute to a high triple factor more than fast ones - guys who go from two to four triples, rather than from eight to twelve. This is *totally* speculative and likely to be wrong.
Don't get me wrong, Greg - I share your concerns (Jim Albright uses/used(?) linear multipliers in his NPB/MLB conversions, with silly results when it comes to triples) and I'd rather err on the side of not including it (or lumping doubles and triples together) rather than introducing further error into my predictions if I'm not real comfortable with my understanding of triples data.
I took an average team statline, used the RC formula, then adjusted each stat and recreated the RC estimate.
Tri-city is the weirdest. Hits are up 33%, walks 30%, homers 93%. Should be a park factor of 1.83 with those characteristics, but its only 1.30. Very few homers are hit in the low minors, so that HR factor shouldn't have the same impact it would on a an average major league team.
Staten Island increases everything, but not runs. Should have a 1.12, but its only .87
At the other end Oenonta decreases everything, including HR at .54, but still has a 1.1 run factor.
(The following ignores noise in the data.)
Let's say you've a league with 7 essentially neutral parks and one monster hitting environment (7 PF of 95, 1 PF of 135). The hitter's park is replaced with a pitcher's park (7 PF of 102, 1 PF of 86). The resultant park factors are 86 for the new stadium and 98.5 for everyone else ... thus, every stadium is a pitcher's park! Obviously, this is a simplified situation, but a lesser instance of this happened in the Texas League (Round Rock was replaced by Corpus Christi), where the park factors are 107, 105, 101, 99, 95, 93, 85, 79.
Good point. I could see that being correct. I should probably have crunched numbers before I jumped in with speculation.
Why - it hasn't stopped me. :)
At least historically, I think the left field configuration had more impact than right field. The historic ballparks that were best for triples were Forbes Field (when it didn't have the Greenberg Gardens/Kiner Korner short fence in left), Griffith Stadium, and Yankee Stadium -- all ballparks with enormously deep left-center fields. The Polo Grounds was a good triples park too, with the incredibly deep dead center.
I think the ball in the RF corner is equally likely to be a triple in any ballpark. What made these parks exceptionally good for triples was that triples could be hit to left-center, which almost never happens anywhere else.
I haven't built my own MLEs in years (mid 90s?), so it's been a long time since I've played with park factors but you reminded me of an adjustment I used to make. I trusted the run factor more than the components, so I'd adjust the components to match the run factor.
So, if started with:
R = 101, H = 103, 2B = 103, 3B = 103, HR = 140, BB = 102, SO = 100
I might end up with:
R = 101, H = 101, 2B = 95, 3B = 91, HR = 120, BB = 99, SO = 102 (or something like that)
I have zilch of my documentation still around (computer imploded), but I remember that the adjusted components were a better predictor of future factors than the unadjusted ones were. (I used 3/2/1 weights of the previous three years and did not test whether other year weights would have been better. I also removed Ks from other outs in building the H factor, but that's kind of beside the point.)
Would be interesting to see if you could do lefty/right park adjustments just like your overall park adjustments shown above. Would you be able to do that?
Last thing...do you use a process similar to Jim's old article: http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/btf/scholars/furtado/articles/parkeffects.htm
Thanks!
I had considered doing it against balls in play instead after 2003, but decided that it would end up mixing in new problems and a lot of new work. I did test-run from 2001-2003 of all major league parks and the standard error between PA and BIP denominators was something like 15% the year-to-year standard error in park effects.
Would be interesting to see if you could do lefty/right park adjustments just like your overall park adjustments shown above. Would you be able to do that?
I'd something I'd like to do, but it would only be for the minor leagues. One problem with l/r park adjustments is the inaccuracy of the park effects. All of a sudden, instead of 81 games worth of PA for the home park, you're getting a lefty factor that's only 81 games worth of PA total for *3* years. The error range is going to start killing your accuracy.
No, I use STATS method - there's just not enough you can gain with a more precise method. Park factors aren't precise; I tend to think even 2 digits is a bit of false precision.
I've actually done this for estimated minor league park factors in the past based on previous years in which I *did* know each component. Managed to get good data the last 3 years, but availability varies. Unless of course, I win the lottery, in which case, I'd just buy the stuff I need from STATS or BB Info Solutions.
That's true; however, that's why regressing the past few years becomes very important. It minimizes most of the errors. The only problem with that is new parks (ie. Petco is only 2 years old and RFK just 1). I talked with a guy from Baseball Info Solutions, and they don't even have lefty/right park adjustments for everything like overall park adjustments because of all the work, etc. The only lefty/right ajustments in the Bill James Handbook this year is HR and AVG (which you can techincally calculate w/out a park adjustment by using the raw stats).
What are the differences between the STATS method and Jim's old method?
I agree that park adjustments/factors aren't precise, but I know a lot of major league teams use them for minor league players as well as major league players that they are considering trading for, signing, etc. It helps in a lot of ways.
Just the simple home/road ratio per PA.
This may not severely impact minor league BF's, but I have a real issue with one of the basic assumptions of BF, and the way it's being calculated by STATS/BIS/Shandler, etc. I posted something on BTB blog about it: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/story/2005/12/22/3397/3327
Also - Is P'tucket really at +59% homers now? Both BP (3-year) and BA (2004) have them as under 100% overall factor. And one of the very first "tricks" I learned to use for fantasy/sim gaming (back in "The Day" - before MLE's were popularized) was that I could take Pawtucket stats for a player, and assume he would hit almost the same in Boston. Does anyone know if they reworked or replaced that park at some point?
Rob :)
It depends on the league - some have pretty imbalanced schedules, others don't.
Oddly enough, I posted some blurb on this in a different thread here yesterday - if you're putting together major league PF, you really should take it into account. At the minor league level, it would be more considerably more work, so I can see letting it go.
Old STATS, Inc. books had this information. Broken down for lefties and righties too, as I recall. They stopped publishing it around 2001 or so. I'm not sure if you'd be able to find new copies of these - you'd probably have to buy old ones.
