The run environments vary widely across the 11 full-season minor leagues. On top of that, individual ballparks within those leagues can vary in terms of run-scoring context. Baseball America helps you make sense of it all with its annual installment of minor league park factors.

Park factors presented here are basic comparisons of minor league teams’ production in home games compared with road games. The result is park factor (PF), where 100 is average and 120 signifies that the outcome is 20% more frequent in home games than road games. Conversely, a PF of 80 indicates that outcome is 20% less common in home games.

The multiplier (Mult) column halves the impact of park factor to reflect that players play only half their games at home. In this way, park effects can be applied directly to players’ statistics.
